Overview

With an introductionSuperior formattingPoul Anderson managed to write a sword-and-sorcery story with no sorcery. Pirates, witches, magicians, and marine aliens populate Witch of the Demon Seas. There are some more serious components than you'd generally find in a pulp of that day, including political tyranny and manipulation of the masses by an elite ruling class, and a romance with a more than two-dimensional woman. Witches and wizards use "magic" to exercise mind control and cast illusions. Anderson's sorcery, which he never calls psychic, involves imposition of thinking patterns. He rejects supernatural explanations in favor of science. Anderson was a skilled fantasy and sci-fi writer, although his natural tendencies leaned more towards sci-fi, as seen by the enormous volume of sci-fi he created.
