His name is Dirshan - a towering barbarian who lives by honour, a warrior's skill, and brute strength. His companion is a sword-wielding Amazon - proud, aristocratic, a striking figure in or out of armour, a match for any man.
On their special mission to the shrine of Lerios, headquarters of a world religion riven by faction and dissent, they encounter packs of desert horsemen, a beast that guards a forsaken idol, the bloodthirsty crew of a slave ship, and the mysterious rites of "The Order," which, more than a religion, is a secret and powerful empire.
Gene Lancour follows the struggle of these two heroic figures to complete their danger-filled odyssey in this action-filled fantasy of mystery and adventure in a strange and exotic world.

"If this murder is allowed to take place," said the professor, "it will end history. Not only shall we cease to exist, but our fathers, grandfathers and all our ancestors going back five hundred years will simply never have existed."
Rupert Willbeest had been programmed to kill. But no one expected him to wipe out five hundred years of history. And that's what he might easily do.
His drunken slumber degenerates into a Nietzschean nightmare as he becomes possessed by a personal will to kill - by a force that ultimately leads him to transgress the most sacred of all moral laws. And it isn't murder.
Like The Gods Alone, the author's first novel, Ring of Rings is no less riveting for its inspired treatment of a fascinating theme.
