Heroes of Atlantis & Lemuria
“I looked in their evil eyes and they crouched like cravens,
I showed them my sword, and they trembled and louted low.
I gave their bones for food to the rats and ravens,
And I pray the gods for another and fiercer foe.”
Of all the heroes of the legendary land of Atlantis, none were greater than Kardios, warrior and bard! In his travels he encounters creatures from the stars, self-proclaimed gods, nefarious wizards, and untrustworthy lascivious queens. For years fans of sword-and-sorcery fiction have demanded a collection containing Manly Wade Wellman’s tales of Kardios. Their demands had not been met—until now! In addition, this book contains all of Frederick Arnold Kummer, Jr.’s Lemurian adventure stories (also never collected before) and a hard-to-find Leigh Brackett story set in Mu. Join the heroes of Atlantis and Lemuria on their fantastic adventures!
“Here was danger, here was strife,
Here was conquest, too;
Yonder lies the road of life,
More to see and do.”

Reviews:
“If you want some lost continent fiction, Heroes of Atlantis and Lemuria is one you want to get. One series with an Atlantean backdrop is Manly Wade Wellman’s “Kardios of Atlantis” series. I always liked the Kardios stories. They are not gloomy and doom laden (though I like that) but more on the breezy side. After reading the first one, “The Straggler from Atlantis”, I knew I would get an entertaining, swashbuckling romp.” (Morgan Holmes, Castalia House)
“Manly Wade Wellman is great at spinning short, fun yarns, and manages to be both powerful and elegant. The stories read like a breeze, and let us wanting for more… This is an excellent collection, filled with old-style swashbuckling adventure, strange monsters, beautiful women, and all you’d expect on a lost continent. Highly recommended.” (Davide Mana, Karavansara)
