Tarra Khash, a man of the Steppes, is an adventurer in the ancient world of Theem'hdra ... something like Conan the Barbarian, but not quite so superhuman. Never a Backward Glance consists of a set of novelettes about Tarra Khash, man of the steppes. The titles are: Treasure of the Scarlet Scorpion, Isles of the Suhm-Yi, Told in the Desert, Curse of the Golden Guardians, Kiss of the Lamia, In the Temple of Terror. British artist Jim Pitts did about 16 interior B&W illos (some small, some full-page) for this edition. A review from GOODREADS:• Sword and Mythos fiction - too Entertaining to be Horrific: Vintage dark fantasy spawned in the early 1900’s from the work of pen-pals R.E.Howard and H.P.Lovecraft; though it seems rare to find quality Conan-Mythos mash-ups. If they exist, they are usually in singular short stories, not represented by a series of books or a continuing character. That’s where this book comes into play. A group-read on “Sword and Mythos” themes led me to Brian Lumley’s take on this weird fantasy niche. .... This is highly recommended for fans of Michael Shea's Nifft character: Nifft the Lean.... Availability: Unlike most Sword & Sorcery this yarn of short stories continues developing linearly (one tale directly flows to the next). They could be read out of order, but work well as chapters. This volume was good enough for me to track down the other two. The book offered on this page is the regular hard cover copy that was NOT signed, numbered, slipcased etc. It is one of 1000 such copies published. Want both this volume and its sequel, together? Look for them in my eBay store! ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Brian Lumley was born near Newcastle. In 22 years as a Military Policeman he served in many of the Cold War hotspots, including Berlin, as well as Cyprus in partition days. He reached the rank of Sergeant-Major before retiring to Devon to write full-time, and his work was first published in 1970. The vampire series, 'Necroscope', has been translated into ten languages and sold over a million copies worldwide. He was awarded the World Fantasy Life Achievement Award in 2010. PLEASE NOTE: A few years ago, Tor Books reprinted this title in a hard cover edition as: Tarra Khash: Hrossak. " Don't buy both versions accidentally! ______________ WOW!
