Under the Green Star

Green Star Rises: Book 1

Lin Carter

On Earth, life held for him only the fate of a recluse--handicapped, confined to daydreams and the lore of ancient wonders, but apparently destined never to share them--until he found the formula that let him cross space to the world of the Green Star. There, appearing in the body of a fabled hero, he is to experience all that his heroic fantasies had yearned for. A princess to be saved... an invader to be thwarted... and otherworldly monsters to be faced! A thrilling adventure in the grand tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs, as only Lin Carter can tell it!

When the Green Star Calls

Green Star Rises: Book 2

Lin Carter

To him, Earth was a prison of the mind and body. Only on the world of the Green Star would he walk -- in the borrowed body of a primitive youth. A thrilling adventure in the grand tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs, as only Lin Carter can tell it!

By the Light of the Green Star

Green Star Rises: Book 3

Lin Carter

Miscast in the role of assassin, inhabiting the stolen body of a stalwart savage, the star-wanderer from Earth found himself in dangers beyond even his wildest imaginings.

His friends had fled, his princess with them, and awaiting him were the islands of the sky with their merciless masters, the prowlers of the dark tree bottoms with their horrible steeds, and the treachery of his comrades in captivity.

But this was what he had left his safe home on Earth for -- and his adventures BY THE LIGHT OF THE GREEN STAR, however knife-edge, were the very staff of life to him!

Roy Krenkel illustrates this third marvel adventure of Lin Carter's bestselling saga.

As the Green Star Rises

Green Star Rises: Book 4

Lin Carter

In the marvel-adventure sagas of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Otis Adelbert Kline, and John Norman has there ever been a situation such as befell the Earthling who found his way to the world under the Green Star?

For while his real body lay crippled and silent under the sun of old Earth, his mind occupied the vigorous body of a young primitive on that alien planet of mighty trees, floating cities, and unmapped limits. And in that guise he had found incredible friends, a royal love, and inhuman and superhuman enemies.

But no matter what predicament he was in -- and as this book starts he is alone, abandoned on an uncharted sea -- his courage never flagged though the greatest of risks would confront him AS THE GREEN STAR RISES.

In the Green Star's Glow

Green Star Rises: Book 5

Lin Carter

He was Karn, the savage of the sky-high trees. He was protector and defender of the princess Niamh, whose very city was lost in the mapless jungles of the world under the Green Star.

But he was also an Earthling, whose helpless body lay in suspended animation in a guarded mansion in New England. It was his alien mind that drove Karn through perils that no other would dare.

But dare he must -- for though that alien planet was replete with dangers and treachery, with lost castles of forgotten science and armies of mindless monsters, there was a cause to be won and a love to be rescued.

It's Lin Carter in the grand climax of his best marvel-adventure series in the tradition of Burroughs and Merritt.
