On his side was a vague prophecy, a quarrelsome dwarf, a beautiful woman able to transform herself into a swan - and a magnificent battle-horse and a full set of armor which had been waiting for him when he entered this magical realm. Both sides in the looming battle thought that Holger was the key figure in the conflict, able to throw back the powers of Chaos Holger had no idea how he was supposed to do that.Īrrayed against him were dragons, giants, elven warriors, the beautiful sorceress and seductress Morgan le Fay - indeed all the forces of Chaos. So it seemed very unfair that a near-miss in a firefight had somehow transported him into a world of knights, dragons, witches and fairy-folk, and even more unfair that he had arrived just as the forces of Chaos were preparing to march forth. Transported to a medieval realm of magic and myth, a World War II resistance fighter undertakes a perilous quest in this classic fantasy adventure. Holger Carlsen was a skeptical engineer with no interest in fairy tales. This 1961 fantasy novel by Poul Anderson, expanded from an earlier 1953 novella, was an influence on later fantasy fiction like Michael Moorcock’s Elric of Melniboné and Gary Gygax’s Dungeons and Dragons. Expanded from the novella of the same name.īEFORE SCIENCE, BEFORE MAGIC, THERE WAS CHAOS Three Hearts and Three Lions I finished reading Three Hearts and Three Lions while recovering from the lurgy this weekend.
