I have told many friends about the Warlord series, and many others I know who enjoy Edgar Rice Burroughs books and similar. I enjoyed them mainly because they returned me to when I got into scifi reading as a kid. Finding those old John Carter books at the used book store in Richmond, Virginia, led to a long adventure for a 7-year-old.

My young imagination was likewise ignited by the the great works of the Golden Age of science fiction. Post-modernist fiction is a blight on the human spirit.Thanks you for the kind words!

Interesting column, sir. I took a look at the series summaries - I'm afraid that I am now slightly overloaded with books on a modern military vs fantasy topic, so must pass yours up. At least for now... I would like to see more missives from you, preferably in email, because Ss in its infinite wisdom did something with their formatting that makes many of their pages illegible.

Sorry to hear you’re having Substack issues! Frustrating, I know. I’m sure there’s a mechanism to get that solved—I’m an illiterate in that regard. My weekly posts are submitted to my publisher, and they take it from there. Please hang in there with us.

Love the Warlord series and eagerly hope somewhere there is a beta copy of Tier 1001 that I might someday get my hands on

Too kind. I have a fun story worked out for a Tier 1001 sequel. I’ll get at it one day.

John, I think it would be interesting if you did a Wargate fan polling & see just how many ppl know about the Warlord books and have read them. Maybe it would help
