About the Author
M.A.R. Barker (1929-2012) created the world of Tekumel, the setting for his novels and games. Inspired by Indian, Mayan, Aztec and other non-European mythologies and cultures, Barker wove these together with his own ideas to imagine an amazing science-fantasy setting. A Fulbright Scholar, Barker went on to teach at McGill University in Montreal and then at the University of Minnesota. A long-time historical game player, in 1975 Barker created a role-playing game, Empire of the Petal Throne after playing Original Dungeons & Dragons. After that, he wrote several novels, including The Man of Gold and Flamesong, both of which were published by DAW Books in the 1980's. His work is available again through the efforts of The Tekumel Foundation, established in 2008 to preserve Prof. Barker's creative legacy.

Product Description:Tekumel is a distant world populated by humans who had built up over thousands of years a vast and intricate civilization - based upon a legion of gods and demons, upon the ways and wiles of alien races who dwelled among them upon them, upon the layered traditions of monarchs ancient, medieval, or still reigning. Tekumel is a world as real as Earth, where surprise and adventure are as natural as day and night. The Man Of Gold is the first novel based upon this marvelous legendry, more intricate than Tolkien's Middle Earth, more credible than Frank Herbert, more mystifying than Lovecraft or Stephen King. Follow now the quest of Harson, acolyte of the temple Thumis, as he goes forth to seek a forgotten empire's super-weapon known only as the Man of Gold. Seller Inventory # 2149799003
