The Sea In The Wind

"I wanted to explore on foot, smelling the sea in the wind."
-Michael Scott Rohan, Chase The Morning (New York, 1992), CHAPTER ONE, p. 4.

This sentence, following a colorful description of a seaside sunset, evokes the sense of adventure that we recognize from Poul Anderson's Polesotechnic League series and from SM Stirling's The Peshawar Lancers, Conquistador and The Sky People. Rohan also will transport us into new parallel worlds.

The concluding pages of this 1992 paperback advertise:

a novel by Roger Zelazny in which Merlin must choose between Amber and Chaos;

a Pendragon Cycle by Stephen R. Lawhead with successive volumes highlighting Atlantis, Merlin and Arthur.

There are more such works than anyone will ever read. On this blog, we last saw Arthur and his knights emerging when needed from Glastonbury Tor and we might sometimes feel that all these fantasies by multiple authors are really one long series.
