The gods abide
Thomas Burnett Swann, George Barr (Illustrator)
"Possibly never before has the marvelous talent of Thomas Burnett Swann been in as fine form as in this, his latest--and perhaps last--novel. For in this tale of the time of Rome and the fallen Celtic kingdoms there is embodied the story of the retreat of the pagan gods and all their array of sprites and nymphs and little folk. Facing the ruthless practicality of the new religion which denied their very right to exist, the varied pre-humans faced utter destruction unless they could find a sanctuary beyond detection. 'The Gods Abide' tells their tale and that of two of the defenders who followed the trail of the legendary immortals to the very waters of the Styx. It is a masterpiece of poetic imagery, fantastic adventure, and sheer literary delight."--Pg. [4] of cover
