About this listen
Step into the realm of high adventure and untamed magic with Kothar: Barbarian Swordsman, a seminal collection by the prolific author Gardner Francis Fox. First unleashed upon the world of fantasy literature in 1969, this compilation marks one of Fox's most enduring legacies within his impressive oeuvre of 156 paperbacks. Celebrated for its vibrant energy and boundless imagination, Kothar: Barbarian Swordsman secured its place in the hearts of fantasy enthusiasts and significantly influenced the creation of Dungeons & Dragons, as acknowledged by its creator, Gary Gygax, in Appendix N.
This volume brings together three exhilarating short stories that chart the journey of Kothar, a barbarian of unmatched prowess, as he traverses ancient ruins, confronts dark sorcery, and challenges the will of the gods. Each narrative—The Sword of the Sorcerer, The Treasure in the Labyrinth, and The Woman in the Witch-Wood—unfolds a tapestry of adventure, where magic and mystery breathe life into every page. From the pursuit of a cursed blade that promises great power and peril, to the search for untold riches hidden in a maze of deceit, and the encounter with a mystical woman ensnared by dark forces, Kothar's quests epitomize the essence of sword and sorcery.
With Kothar: Barbarian Swordsman, Gardner Francis Fox not only invites readers on an unforgettable odyssey but also cements his role as a foundational figure in shaping the Sword and Sorcery genre. This collection is a treasure trove for aficionados of classic fantasy, offering a glimpse into the tales that paved the way for the rich narratives of modern fantasy and role-playing games.
the virtual voice was amazing, if amazon did tell me I wouldn't know.

I️ am willing to read more of Fox but hope it improves as it goes along. Kinda have more expectations for his Kyrik books.
Just Ok

My biggest complaint is that the narration is done by AI, which gives the reading no character whatsoever and a very dull monotone sound.

His "booted feet" Like a poor mans Conan, the stories were entertaining enough...
