Eye of the Zodiac: The Dumarest Saga | E.C. Tubb

1 post | 1 read

In the course of a continuing quest for his legendary birthplace, Earl Dumarest befriends a young man who says his home world was called Nerth. New Earth, perhaps? Or even the original planet Dumarest seeks? He must find out. And so Dumarest comes to Nerth - to discover that the Cyclan, his prime enemy in the cosmos, is already there . . . together with mysteries and terror that defy the imagination! (First published 1975)

Eye of the Zodiac: The Dumarest Saga | E.C. Tubb

so-so

Thirteenth in Tubb's series about Dumarest, a traveler searching for the lost planet Earth. In this one he catches a rumour about a planet "Nerth," perhaps a corruption of "New Earth"? This is such pulpy plot-driven fun that I was caught off-guard by a twist near the end that ... um ... hasn't aged well. (Spoiler in the comments.)

swynn One of Dumarest's companions turns out to be a villain motivated by her desire to have a man's body. Which is a shame, says Dumarest: if only she wasn't so foolish she could have been pretty. Really. Yeah it's a shame all right but not for the reason he thinks. 5y
