Fires of Lan-Kern (1980)

Returning from a Polar trip, the British landscape that greeted the crew of the nuclear submarine carrying botanist Frank Dryden, was completely devoid of life. The disorientated crew searched the coastline in vain for life - only ruins and mutated animals remained. Then the overworked nuclear drive exploded, leaving Dryden alone on the forbidding Cornish Peninsula.

Forced to survive in an alien landscape, Dryden was befriended by the Celtic tribe of Lan0Howlek. Soon he was drawn into their bloody battle with the evil followers of the witch, Nelferch, and underwent the painful and terrifying initiation rites of a Druidic healer.

In the once and future land of Lan-Kern, Dryden began his search for the holy relic, An Kevryn - the secret key to the Universe...
