Super Reader

Better than the middle book, and a little longer. Kane has perfected his Martian matter transmitter, so can travel at will. Something he is pleased about. Some primitive species has opened a biological weapon that the ancient alien super race has left behind. This is turning people into monomaniacal half-zombie types, and eventually killing them. Many adventures happen to try and solve this, with an amusing twist at the end. Much of it accompanied by his friend Hool Hadj. Oh, and a few jokes thrown in, in passing through a certain area, some of the geographical features are S'sdla, Nosirrah and Golana, not to mention Modnaf. Not that I would have ever used this technique to name places in a game, or anything! :)

THIS IS A BOOK BY MICHAEL MOORCOCK AND NOT "NORMAN"

Originally published under the pen-name of Edward P. Bradbury as Barbarians of Mars. Now called Masters of the Pit."The green-death started in Cend-Amrid, turning that once-lovely city into a plague spot, source of a deadly infection that swept Mars and turned men into mindless automatons. And Michael Kane had to find the cure-or perish along with the rest of the adopted planet he loved!"
