Brak: When the Idols Walked

Brak the Barbarian #4 / 5
by John Jakes
Brak: When the Idols Walked (Brak the Barbarian #4) by John Jakes
Unrated

Brak came down from his home in the mountains to the fabled land of Rodar — to the fierce battle waged by Lord Phonicios against Ilona the Sorceress of Evil — and to the realm of one who already brings dead souls and stone idols to life. Now the mighty warrior faces one whose mind can become more fearsome than the sword he brandishes. He must fight the hideous soldiers of Ilona and all the darkest powers her sorcery can command. Defeat means that Lord Phonicios, the people of Rodar, and Brak himself will perish in mortal agony.

During this time, John Jakes was also a member of the Swordsmen and Sorcerers' Guild of America (SAGA), a loose-knit group of heroic fantasy authors founded in the 1960s, some of whose works were anthologized in Lin Carter's Flashing Swords! anthologies.

John Jakes gained widespread popularity with the publication of his Kent Family Chronicles, which became a bestselling Bicentennial Series of books in the mid to late 1970s, selling 55 million copies. He has since published several more popular works of historical fiction, most dealing with American history, including the North and South Trilogy about the U.S. Civil War, which sold 10 million copies and was turned into an ABC-TV miniseries.
