Collected here for the first time are six fantastical tales of the Swords of Eternity Super-Arc, the epic cycle that launched the Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe series. At the mercy of spacetime's capricious vagaries, young scientist Victory Harben finds herself hurled across worlds by a mysterious force, while pursued by a ruthless winged entity armed with a flaming sword that consumes souls. Following Victory is inventor Jason Gridley, intent on finding his goddaughter and bringing her home. In the course of their world-hopping odyssey, Victory and Jason will meet friends and allies, and face off against cruel enemies who will test the steel of their courage. Original to this anthology are a Quantum Prelude, a Quantum Postlude, and five new connecting Quantum Interludes in which Victory Harben gives context to the unfolding story of the Super-Arc that occurs between each story, plus the previously unpublished epic novelette "Victory Harben and the Lord of the Veiled Eye" by Christopher Paul Carey, in which the ERB Universe collides head-on with cosmic horror at the edge of the solar system!
THE FIRST UNIVERSE OF ITS KIND
A century before the term "crossover" became a buzzword in popular culture, Edgar Rice Burroughs created the first expansive, fully cohesive literary universe. Coexisting in this vast cosmos was a pantheon of immortal heroes and heroines--Tarzan of the Apes, Jane Clayton, John Carter, Dejah Thoris, Carson Napier, and David Innes being only the best known among them. In Burroughs' 80-plus novels, their epic adventures transported them to the strange and exotic worlds of Barsoom, Amtor, Pellucidar, Caspak, and Va-nah, as well as the lost civilizations of Earth and even realms beyond the farthest star. Now the Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe expands in an all-new series of canonical novels written by today's talented authors!
