Blurb: “THE OVERLORDS OF WAR

"A fine translation by John Brunner," writes the Library Journal, "this story concerns the adventures in time of a gladiator who eventually comes to fight for peace. Klein's descriptions (in particular that of Aergistal, a place-somewhere in space and time where classic battles are perpetually fought) are superb.

On one level he skillfully exploits the fast-paced narrative of science fiction's former glory days; on a second level he adds the human insights and humane vision of contemporary speculative fiction to produce a blend of the best of both eras.

"THE OVERLORDS OF WAR provides more evidence that America no longer has sole title to excellence as well as indicating that Klein should, in time, assume a prominent position within the genre. A very welcome book."
