And beyond that deep in space the bug-eyed aliens and strange creatures existed that shocked terrified and entertained us.</p><p> </p><p>This is not a story about science fact. This is fantastic science fiction. The old guard kind the raypunk kind. It's one I think that should be dusted off and played with from time to time; the pulp era of science fiction when Mars had canals Venus held dinosaurs and man could travel to other places in rockets or spheres coated in anti-gravity paint or even mysterious beam of energy. Where savages could hold axe and sword fighting alongside a ray gun-toting gunfighter or Space Ranger.</p><p><br>Tosh formally of the House du'Vaul is on the road to make or break his fortune. Bors of the Northern Mountains is a barbarian needing escape from the authorities. The two are brought together by a mysterious figure and given a quest to find the Eye of Saturnalia.
