Thunder on the Battlefield A project of Seventh Star Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About HARK to the sounds of battle! Mighty men and women who take their destinies with the strength of their arm and the sharpness of their blades. These are tales of warriors, reavers, barbarians, and kings. Lands of wonder populated with monsters, black-hearted sorcerors of Stygian power, and heroes who have blood on their hands, and on their steel. This is sword and sorcery. If you are anything like me, you grew up reading Robert E. Howard, Michael Moorcock, Fritz Leiber, and Karl Edward Wagner. I love those stories. In them the masters of the genre gave us glimpses of rough nobility and self-sacrifice. Heroic men and women who lived, killed, and died by the edge of their swords. So now it is time for those stories to return.
