Thauremac raised his pipes to his lips and the figure of Frankari began to move - jerkily at first, and then more smoothly with each successive step he took.

MAGIRA


"We have plans to make our way into your world, Frankari.  You are only the first.  The Lion is riding under the Banner of Chaos.  I shall take your place as player.  This time the fate of Magira is sealed.  The rules of the game are changing!"

But the fate of Magira can never be sealed, however vast the power that dared interfere.  For that barbaric world with its continents and kingdoms, its hordes of armed warriors, its votaries of fearful religions and monster monarchs, was greater than its creators.  Though it had been created by Earth-born men, it existed in a time-space of its own, beyond their ability to destroy - only leaving men the ability to play out their secretmost desires against the rules of a cosmos not that of Terra!

ARMY OF DARKNESS is a novel of the war-gamers' world, Magira, the first and greatest of such creations guarded by the Fellowship of the Lords of the Lands of Wonder!

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
