Elak, Warrior of Atlantis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781739367459)

Elak was introduced to the world by Henry Kuttner in the legendary Weird Tales in 1938.

Now Elak returns in this first volume of a sword & sorcery trilogy that is a celebration of the classic genre and a homage to such grand pulp masters as Edgar Rice Burroughs and Robert E Howard.

In Warrior of Atlantis, Elak the young adventurer, a reluctant king of one of Atlantis' northern realms, sets out to begin his unification of the vast continent. He meets sorcerers, decadent gods, demonic armies and every kind of aquatic monster imaginable, fighting his way to glory with his companions, Lycon, and Dalan the Druid, in a blood & thunder feast loaded with battles and mayhem.
This thundering, no-holds-barred pulp saga is by the author of The Dream Lords, The Omaran Saga and The Voidal Saga, together with Nick Nightmare Investigates, winner of the British Fantasy Award in 2015 for Best Collection, as well as the epic historical fantasy, War on Rome.

With an introduction from celebrated Sword & Sorcery writer David C Smith.

"...Cole should be considered one of the best Sword & Sorcery writers around..." - Black Gate

Elak's fabulous adventures continue in the forthcoming ELAK, KING OF
ATLANTIS and ELAK, SEA HAWKS OF ATLANTIS, both from Parallel Universe Publications.
