Flight from Neveryon (Return to Neveryon, Vol 3)
Flight from Neveryon - Return to Neveryon, Vol 3
Author:
Chronicle of a long-ago land on civilization's brink. Gorgik the Liberator's slave revolt takes an unexpected turn. — Contents: —
Return to Neveryon is a series of eleven “sword and sorcery” stories--a science fiction/fantasy series depicting an empire beyond the borders of history where human destinies entwine in a strange design. It is an intricate web of adventure, intrigue and desire and a literary puzzle where meaning, parable and paradox collide. The eleven tales that make up Return to Neveryon are set before the dawn of history, in a location that might be Africa or Asia. Many of the stories have different protagonists and, indeed, different sets of foreground characters. But all take a greater or lesser part in recounting an overall story running through the whole series, the history of a man called Gorgik the Liberator. Taken slave in childhood, Gorgik gains his freedom, leads a slave revolt, and becomes a minister of state, finally abolishing slavery. Ironically, however, he is sexually aroused by the iron slave collars of servitude. Does this contaminate his mission -- or intensify it? Originally published in four volumes during the years 1979-1987, those volumes are:"Return to Neveryon": Vol 1) Tales of Neveryon; Vol 2) Neveryona, or: The Tale of Signs and Cities; Vol 3) **Flight from Neveryon**; Vol 4) Return to Neveryon (aka The Bridge of Lost Desire).
