Mind Wizards of Callisto

Jandar,
the alien clawed from his airship by the cannibalistic Zarkoon bird-men while
leading his aerial armada to an attack on the hidden city of Kuur, devises a
daring escape into the land beyond the world's edge. But in this unknown
terrain, with only a nubile jungle maid as a guide, he is no longer the hunter
but the hunted ... prey for the giant fang-snouted <i>groack</i> ... game for
the ferocious six-legged <i>othodes</i> … and stalked by a fate far worse than
death which forces him to renounce all hope of rescue — the merciless vengeance of the fiendish Mind Wizards of Callisto
…
Lin Carter (1930-1988) was a noted American fantasy and science fiction author, anthologist, and critic who wrote over fifty novels, compiled over 25 anthologies, and authored multiple critical studies of the science fiction and fantasy genres. Best known for his Callisto and Thongor series of novels, Carter made a name for himself as a latter-day pulp author, imitating the successful adventure tale formulas made fashionable by earlier writers such as Edgar Rice Burroughs (Tarzan of the Apes; The Mars/Barsoom series), Robert E. Howard (Conan the Barbarian), and Lester Dent (Doc Savage). Carter helped to popularize fantasy and science fiction not just through his own stories, but by anthologizing and promoting the works of many authors who would eventually become famous and influential in their own right.
