Battle Circle by Piers Anthony

Description: In this visionary trilogy of a world based on superstition and a warrior culture, master science fiction writer Piers Anthony creates a legend of savage power, of primitive and brutal laws where all disputes are settled in the battle circle, and the vision of a new empire is decided by the might of their primitive weapons. 'Anthony's story of men fighting for mastery of wandering tribes, with sword, club and rope in the ceremonial Great Circle, has its own internal conviction - its own grandeur, even...a rigorous masculine power, rare in any kind of novel nowadays.' - The Observer

Comprising SOS THE ROPE (1970), VAR THE STICK (1972) and NEQ THE SWORD (1975).

Inside cover: America rising from the ashes of its final destruction - the epic story of the savage struggle for empire and dominance in primitive post-cataclysmic America.

SOS THE ROPE: The kill spirits of the blast were retreating and Sos was pledged to being an empire, to build a dream - the same dream which had been built so many times, aeons before.

VAR THE STICK: Var was the chosen one - half-man, half-animal, a mutant victim of the blast - called upon to rescue the Empire in a battle he was secretly afraid of winning.

NEQ THE SWORD: An age of darkness was upon the Empire and Neq, the greatest of warriors, was embarked on a quest that would decide the future of the world!
