I have just finished re reading Astra and Flondrix, it's just as funny, mad, inventive as it was 25 years ago.But......Seamus Cullen wrote two other books at least (1)called: A Noose of Light (ISBN 0-7088-8178-5)(2)called: The Sultan's Turret (ISBN 0-7088-8179-3)A kind of two parter.Have fun finding themQ

Astra and Flondrix

I read this book years ago when a friend loaned it to me. I've been searching for a copy of it for years. It is a wonderful fairy tale complete with elves, dwarfs, nymphs, kings and sex. It was so funny and so well written. I especially like the mode of getting about used by the male dwarves. What a kick! I wish the author had written more books. I love his sense of humour and his flowing prose. This is a great tale and should be reprinted.

a lost treasure

I remember reading this book in the mid 70's when I was a freshman in college. It was like nothing I had ever read before--this bizarre, out-of-body and completely erotic experience. The copy I read was borrowed and soon after I tried to purchase a copy of my own but it was already out of print. It's interesting to see others who read it when I did and are also trying new ways to track down a copy of it.

An incredible combination of fantasy and science fiction.

In a dark new world built from the ruins of our own, Seamus Cullen pits the forces of past and future in a battle over control of the universe. The book has a wide range of characters and races ranging from humans to dwarves to the exalted elves, protectors of the cosmic balance. When Herr Doktor Kranz, a nuclear scientist from the previous age of man, threatens the universe with total destruction to make way for the next age of man, the races must accept eachother's partnership in the fight for control.Written in the style of Tolkien, Astra and Flondrix is very entertaining. The text is light yet intelligent, and not at all tedious. The story flows very nicely. There are a couple of unnecessary almost technical descriptions of dwarf anatomy, but overall this is a great book
