HERE THERE BE DRAGONS...

The natives called Fomalhaut II by the name of Fergis.  In Galactic listings the Watchers and Adjusters called it Camelot for a good reasons.

For one thing, magic seemed to work.  For another, knighthood was the order of the day and a strict chivalry ruled the lands.  For a third, there was evil in the world to be combatted.

Mere observation from orbit no longer sufficed, because now that evil had assumed menacing and warlike proportions.  Armies and huge flying dragons were moving from the sinister southlands to overwhelm this world, much as the legions of legendary Mordor had moved to conquer Middle Earth.

It was time for an Adjuster to step in and unravel the mysteries of Camelot... and that task fell to Kyrie Fern, henceforth to be known as Harl Lenti, swordsman and manipulator of a mightier magic - that of galactic science.

It's sword and sorcery, it's heroic fantasy - and simultaneously it is first-class space science fiction!

CAMELOT IN ORBIT

Fomalhaut II was an inexplicable enigma in the annals of the Galactic Watchers.  A world of knights and ladies, of dungeons and dragons, it was truly medieval and therefore out of bounds for science-armed Terrans.  Yet science seemed thwarted there for magic really worked and witchcraft baffled the secret watchers.

Camelot was their name for it, and Kyrie Fern was their Adjuster on its surface - a knight in truly shining armor, a champion of chivalry, and the only one who actually stood between the Arthurian natives and the alien being that menaced both their world and the advanced planets that swung unseen through their sky.

Once again Arthur H. Landis has worked the magic of combining the wonders of swords-and-sorcery with the science adventure of high space.

THE MAGICK OF CAMELOT

The planet the watchers from the stars called Camelot was unique among all the worlds.  For there, amid the trappings of medieval chivalry magic actually worked!  It had stumped the secret observers from the Terran worlds for years - until Kyrie Fern brought back the startling answer.

But Kyrie's work was not done, for on the heels of this triumph in leading the knights and ladies and dragon-lords to victory, the gate between the universes opened.  And the vanguard of a super-science beyond humanity set up its conquering banner on Camelot.

Knighthood may have always been in flower there but the time had come for warlock spells and high-tech strategies to combine forces... or lose first a world and then a galaxy.
