Lin Carter

23 Series

Lin Carter was a prolific author known for his contributions to the science fiction and fantasy genres. He is particularly noted for his work in sword-and-sorcery and sword-and-planet literature, with a notable achievement being the six-book series, Thongor the Barbarian.

In Lin Carter's series, "Zarkon, Lord of the Unknown," the inaugural book, "The Nemesis of Evil," introduces Zarkon, a man of mystery whose true identity remains concealed from his enemies. Alongside the Omega Crew, Zarkon combats the forces of darkness. Their greatest challenge arises when they confront Lucifer, a monstrous leader commanding an army of satanic slaves. Lucifer poses a significant threat to humanity, and it is up to Zarkon to thwart him.
