Isn’t an emotionless enigma like a choleric riddle or a manic-depressive puzzle?
Lightly dressed woman posing with a sword, Moon photographed through a zoom lens, grainy shmeer background: three GSS tastes that taste (great?) together!
Ted Tubb bashed out thirty three or so of these books and Ace just lapped ’em up. What’s odd about this one is that it’s an Ace Double with a reprint of the first Dumarest story http://absoluteknave.squarespace.com/blog/2020/4/18/the-winds-of-gath-1967-ec-tubb after various other Ace books had subsequent episodes as half of the double-bill.
@BC: Her entire upper left arm is just wrong. Must be all that sword-holding.
@Tracy: that one ain’t emotionless! But GSS to it! Would have gotten a much higher rating than this, with weird muscles and feet too small to hold him up.

Is the sequel called Wet? Wehet, maybe?

@THX, it must be the sequel to “Dumar and Dumarer”.

Maybe she’s about to make her dinner, which she will prepare with Crisp and Derai.

Derai say the wordplay is brilliant? On a more physical level, there is something very strange going on with her left shoulder.

This one got NOTHIN’ on this one.

There’s a lot that’s awful about it, but worst is the man’s golden peep-toe boots.

As Tracy points out, this one got off lightly.

@Tat: and he never managed to end the Saga.

@GSSxN: That’s death for ya. Still, if Earl D had got to Earth it might have been as bad a mess as ‘Battlestar Galactica’.
Either version.

In case you can’t find eternal bliss on the planet of emotionless enigma, try the planet of highly emotional clarity.
