Spectrum of a Forgotten Sun: The Dumarest Saga | E.C. Tubb

1 post | 1 read

Earl Dumarest, now a vanquished and captive mercenary, is offered the choice of surrender to the fearsome Cyclan or the chance of freedom by the beautiful and ruthless Lady Delphine. The risks are terrifying - but has Dumarest a choice? Intent on finding the legendary world of Terra - Earth - the planet of his birth; pursued by the brilliant and ruthless megalomaniac race, the Cyclan, whose secret key to Galactic domination only he possesses; trapped on a plague ship hurtling through a universe determined to destroy it, and captained by a madman - Earl Dumarest is tempted by the irresistible but fatal promise of Delphine. The choice is simple - to abandon his dreams or perish by them, just as they promise fulfilment. (First published 1976)

Spectrum of a Forgotten Sun: The Dumarest Saga | E.C. Tubb

so-so

(1976) Fifteenth in Tubb's space opera series featuring Earl Dumarest, orphan of Earth trying to find his way home. In this one, Dumarest gets caught up in a heist gone wrong, trapped on a plague ship, then drafted into serving as champion to a disgraced aristocrat. The action is fun as usual, though the plot is less coherent and the tone more misogynistic than is the case for better entries.
