Free (Kindle) Fire and Fog by Robert E. Vardeman [Sci-Fantasy Multiverse Adventure]
Fire and Fog by Robert E. Vardeman (ISFDB, Wikipedia, SFE), a 1972 Hugo Award finalist for Best Fan Writer, in addition to being an author in his own right, is the 5th novel in his Cenotaph Road series of sci-fantasy hybrid pulp adventure novels set in a demonpunk “technology”-powered magical multiverse accessed by travelling the road between the worlds, this one continuing the quest of thwarting the reassembling bodiless evil wizard trying to take over the multiple worlds, confronting his minions and gaining new friends along the way, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press' Venture imprint.
This was originally published in 1984 by Ace Books. We've previously received the 1st and 3rd, and 4th novels free as well, and this story follows directly from a plot arc of the 3rd and 4th, which are regularly affordably priced, and sometimes drop to just 99 cents on sale, if you missed any earlier. Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else Amazon sells worldwide, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive-or-else program) Description Lan Martak is still journeying the Cenotaph Road with Inyx and Krek and they find themselves in the middle of a fight with Claybore. They have located the evil magician’s tongue, cut out when the rest of Claybore’s body was dismembered to prevent him from taking over the universe. The tongue resides in a weak leader, but Martak has to fight against Claybore’s champion despite the disadvantage. With a combination of sorcery and swordplay, Martak defeats Claybore’s champion, but not before Claybore’s revenge, the champion’s sword thrown unerringly at Martak and cleaves his jaw from his face. In a desperate bid to save Martak, Inyx and Krek place Claybore’s tongue in Martak’s mouth and the powerful tongue allows Martak to command himself to heal. The group continues to travel the road in search of Claybore to defeat him yet again and prevent him from taking the universe under his control. Strange Hereslers, dangerous fogs, and a long fight under the mountain Yerrary will lead to the heroes finding new friends, discovering the depths of magic, and perhaps lose what they hold most dear. |

These better be good, or they'll go in the microwave.
