Late 70s/80s fantasy novel with interdimensional portals, an average man protagonist and an immortal...












2














I’ve been scouring my memory for the name of a book I read decades ago. I only remember fragments. Inter-dimensional portals, a female warrior who is immortal (and beautiful), an average man protagonist.



A Boris type cover with the scantily clad woman warrior on the cover... possibly with a Stonehenge type structure.

Possibly the Morgaine Cycle by C.J. Cherryh. "Gate of Ivrel" is the first book, published in 1976 so fits the timeframe provided. All other details - portals, female warrior, average man, cover with scantily clad woman warrior and structure - match too.

I'm not sure if this is right but Robert Heinlein's Glory Road fits the description.

  • Star is beautiful, but not immortal. They do travel between universes, but most often naked and using only a pentagram - no stonehenge style gates. Oscar isn't exactly average, either. He was selected for a special ability - he always knows where he is in relation to any place he has traveled. This ability was needed to get through the labyrinth guarding the "egg."
