A young man is transformed into a barbarian fighter in this adventure
from "one of the leading masters of epic fantasy" (Publishers
Weekly).
Wallie Smith can feel the pain. He goes to the hospital and remembers
the doctors and the commotion, but when he wakes up it all seems like a
dream. However, if that was a dream, how do you explain waking up in
another body and in another world? Little Wallie finds himself in the
physique of a barbarian swordsman, accompanied by both an eccentric
priest babbling about the Goddess and a voluptuous slave girl. Is this a
rude awakening or a dream come true? What in the world will Wallie do
now that he has found himself stranded in a strange realm? Well, it just
so happens that the Goddess is in need of a swordsman. It will not be
easy, but if he succeeds he will have everything he wants. If he does
not, things could get ugly. Wallie is reluctant but sees his chance. If
only he had the faintest clue as to the adventure he is about to
unleash! If only he could imagine the forces that will be out to
vanquish him!
