Warlord of Kor (d20)
Terry Gene Carr (1937-1987) was one of the most important editors in the science fiction field. Although most remembered for his long-running anthology series "Universe¸" which launched in 1971 and lasted seventeen volumes until 1987¸ Carr also edited two series of Ace Science Fiction Specials¸ which presented works by up-and-coming authors such as William Gibson (Neuromancer)¸ Michael Swanwick (Into the Rift)¸ Ursula K. le Guin (The Left Hand of Darkness)¸ Alexei Panshin (Rite of Passage)¸ and many more. His editing career was devoted¸ in many ways¸ to discovering and developing new talent in the field. His editing reach included "Year's Best" volumes of science fiction and fantasy¸ as well as quite a few other anthologies (both original and reprint).
"Warlord of Kor" was originally published in 1963 as half of an Ace Double¸ selected by legendary editor Donald A. Wollheim. It is an exciting interplanetary adventure¸ as humans probe the mysteries of the planet Hirlaj and the few remaining aliens who live there.
