WAR-GAMERS'
WORLD

The Fellowship of the Lords of the Lands of Wonder!  That is the name of the select group who control the struggles and marvels of the world known as Magira - a fantasyland planet created years before war-games were known in America.  It was the members of FOLLOW who built up Magira, city by city, island by island, crown by crown, created its continents and oceans, and continue to this day to bring ever greater sword-and-sorcery reality to its misty shores.

Hugh Walker, himself one of the Grand Wizards of FOLLOW, as well as an outstanding science fiction novelist and editor in his Earthly habitat, now brings the first chronicle of Magira to America's fantasy readers and war-gamers alike, in an adventure of the human player who found himself forced to be another's pawn in a ruthless contest of knights and wizards, of priestesses and armed avengers.

MAGIRA

"We have plans to make our way into your world, Frankari.  You are only the first.  The Lion is riding under the Banner of Chaos.  I shall take your place as player.  This time the fate of Magira is sealed.  The rules of the game are changing!"

But the fate of Magira can never be sealed, however vast the power that dared interfere.  For that barbaric world with its continents and kingdoms, its hordes of armed warriors, its votaries of fearful religions and monster monarchs, was greater than its creators.  Though it had been created by Earth-born men, it existed in a time-space of its own, beyond their ability to destroy - only leaving men the ability to play out their secretmost desires against the rules of a cosmos not that of Terra!

ARMY OF DARKNESS is a novel of the war-gamers' world, Magira, the first and greatest of such creations guarded by the Fellowship of the Lords of the Lands of Wonder!
