Wizard of Rentoro

Richard Blade #28

by Jeffrey Lord

Dictator of Evil

Blade zeroes in on another incredible dimension--this a land of fourteenth-century Italian villages, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. Immediately, Blade sees men-at-arms, wearing plate armor and bearing shields, raping beautiful women, terrorizing children, and beating old and crippled peasants.

These men-at-arms are the Wizard's Wolves, serving the tyrannical Wizard of Rentoro, who rules by his highly developed para-normal powers. Through teleportation, hypnosis, telepathy, and crystal balls, the Wizard sees and knows all that goes on in the minds and hearts of his people: He kills or punishes any wayward subject; he squashes any rebellion that threatens his despotic rule.

The question is: Can Blade avoid the Wizard's all-seeing eye and restrain the Wolves long enough to gain command of an army that will overthrow the Castle, undermine forever the Wizard's supernatural powers, and take the Wizard alive...for an unbelievable journey back into the Home Dimension...

Richard Blade travels to new worlds and never fails to find danger and love. Good quick men's adventure read. Recommended

Blade #28: Wizard of Rentoro, by Jeffrey Lord (Roland Green). For the first time in the series, Blade encounters another earthman while adventuring in Dimension X. This is Bernardo Sembruzo, a warrior and political figure in Renaissance Italy, who found a way on his own to travel to Dimension X, but who couldn’t get back. And so he became a ruler of the land of Rentoro through his mind powers and ruthless intelligence. The Wizard is one of the better foils that Blade comes into contact with across the series. For a while it looks like they might even become allies and friends, but the Wizard is far too cutthroat for that. There’s mystery early on as to who the Wizard is, and the end is full of a lot of action. Overall, one of the better Roland Green entries in this series.
