Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Warlock of Sharrador" by Gardner F. Fox is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The book follows Kael McCanahan, a Terran officer embroiled in a conflict against the malevolent forces of a powerful entity called Noorlythin, who has the ability to manipulate reality and commands a robotic army known as the sfarri. With themes of vengeance, loyalty, and the struggle between good and evil, the narrative invites readers into a richly imagined universe where humanity’s survival hangs in the balance. The opening of the novel introduces Kael McCanahan waking up to an assassination attempt in his quarters, which immediately signals the treacherous environment he inhabits. As he leaps into action, it becomes clear that his father, Fleet Admiral Patric McCanahan, has just been murdered under dubious circumstances, likely orchestrated by the High Mor of Senorech, who seeks to expel Terrans from his world. Torn between grief and rage, Kael decides to retrieve his father's body, setting him on a path filled with danger and intrigue, where he soon encounters Flaith, a captivating woman who joins him on his tumultuous quest. As the narrative unfolds, readers witness Kael’s deepening resolve to confront the corruption of the High Mor and the dark forces at play in his universe, culminating in a destiny entwined with Noorlythin and the fate of countless worlds.
