Berserk!
The Celtic Cycle
Collections of the Cormac Mac Art material have appeared from
Donald M. Grant, Zebra, Ace and Baen. By itself,
there are not enough stories of Cormac Mac Art
for the new larger trade paperbacks
that are being published today. This is an excellent chance to pull together
the bulk of Howard’s Celtic writings
into one book!
