Way of the Pilgrim
Tor (reprint, trade paperback, 448 pages, $15 US)
Publication date: July 9, 1999 (First Edition: 1987)
A standalone novel of alien conquest from the author of the Dorsai series.
"Earth has been conquered by a powerful alien race. Shane, a profoundly gifted human linguist,
has spent his life learning the aliens' language--and learning it so well that his interstellar
masters, old hands at enslaving planets, come to value him as a servant.
But Shane has a terrible secret. One day, in a rebellious moment, he invented the Pilgrim, a
mysterious figure who incites rebellion all over Earth and vanishes unseen, leaving a
distinctive graffiti tag behind him.
Now the human underground is preparing to rebel. Shane knows exactly how hopeless their
rebellion will be. And he knows just as well that he will be unable to keep himself from
taking part..."

Publication date: October 28, 1998
Latest in the light-hearted fantasy series that began with The Dragon and the George.

-- and where he has a secret identity as a powerful shape-shifting dragon. When Jim discovers
that the Earl of Cumberland intends to march against him, and that Lyonesse (the land under
the sea where Old Magic, King Arthur and Morgan le Fay abide) is threatened by Dark Powers,
it's time once again to saddle up with his loyal sidekick Sir Brian Neville-Smythe, Hob the
hobgoblin, and a magical questing beast, to confront the forces of darkness.
