Book description
When Fergus Reith agree to act as tour guide for the famed
palaeontologist Dr Aristide Marot, little does he realise that the
search for the elusive Ozymandias will uncover spectacular riches,
ruthless adversaries - and his former wife, the seductive Dr. Alicia
Dyckman! Caught in a bloody civil was, the three adventurers must fight
or face death by boiling in the Cauldron of Repentance! The secrets of
the planet Krishna continue to unfold in L. Sprague de Camp's latest
tale of mystery, treachery and romance. The Bones of Zora is the sixth
of L. Sprague de Camp's Krishna book - interplanetary romance in the
tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Martian Tales. Lyon Sprague de Camp
was born in 1907 and died in 2000. During a writing career that spanned
seven decades, he wrote over a hundred books in the areas of science
fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, non-fiction and biography.
Although arguably best known for his continuation of Robert E. Howard's
Conan stories, de Camp was an important figure in the formative period
of modern SF, alongside the likes of Isaac Asimov and Robert A.
Heinlein, and was a winner of the Hugo, World Fantasy Life Achievement
and SFWA Grand Master awards.
