Burnished Barbarians

* While the Burnished Barbarians can enjoyably be read as a simple fantasy, an adventure story, a blood & thunder book with extensive (but hopefully not excessive) raw sex and violence, or a simple coming of age story, the novel contains much more. Like the fairy tale, myth, or legend, this work comments on and criticizes features of our present society. Behind the protective veneer of describing some totally fictitious or distant past, the critic can censure more sharply, contending his writing shows only weaknesses or evils occurring in a some alien world or a completely different era.......
