An astronaut, stranded on a primitive planet in a distant universe, fights against the tyranny of the Overlord.

Astronaut John Blackstar's shuttle passes through a black hole and crashes on the planet Sagar. He is rescued by the gentle Trobbits, who live under the tyranny of the Overlord, possessor of one half of an all-powerful sword. Armed with the other half, Blackstar aids the resistance with his dragon Warlock; the shapeshifter Klone; and the sorceress Mara.—Derek C.

John Blackstar is an astronaut who finds himself marooned on the alien planet Sagar, when his space shuttle is sucked into a black hole, enters a distant universe and crash landed on Sagar. Rescued by the Trobbits, peace-loving elf like people, Blackstar decides to join the resistance who are fighting against the evil Overlord, who rules the planet with his magic sword the Powerstar. With the Powerstar split in half, Blackstar takes the half called the Starsword, whilst the Overlord had the other half called the Powersword. Blackstar and the Overlord engage in battle, as Blackstar, his dragon Warlock, and the resistance set out to put an end to the Overlord's tyranny on Sagar.—Daniel Williamson
