Synopsis: From the back cover of the Ace first edition: When the land again has need of it, this Sword shall live again. The inscription magically appeared on the tombstone of the Dreamer - a message of hope for the land of Delgroth, in the face of a perilous future. But the Dreamer didn't really die - he returned to his own world, and his life as college student Steve Wilkinson. The evil wizard Belevairn followed him, seeking to arm his minions with the frightening power of modern weaponry. As the steel killing machine they call the Dragon lays waste to one fortress after another, the good men of Delgroth are pushed ever closer to defeat. It is time for the Dreamer to wake, for the Sword to live again...
