  2. The Wizard of Lemuria (1965; revised/expanded as Thongor and The Wizard of Lemuria (1969)). In his introduction to the revised edition, "A Word from the Author", Carter reveals that the revisions consist of restoring certain passages cut by the editor from the first edition, conforming certain portions of the book to details described in later books of the series, and adding a few thousand words of new material.

Note: Carter's literary executor Robert M. Price has written eleven Thongor stories, some based on titles or outlines by Carter, most included in The Sword of Thongor (three also in Young Thongor), and the remaining one in The Mighty Warriors (Ulthar Press, 2018). Three are also available online: "The Creature in the Crypt," "Witch-Queen of Lemuria" and "Mind Lords of Lemuria."

In 1978 an attempt was made to put a Thongor movie in production for release in 1979. It was titled Thongor in the Valley of Demons; however the movie was never produced.

gollark: goto is NOT part of a balanced diet.
gollark: GOTO considered harmful.
gollark: `locale.h` and `iso646.h` will be removed and everyone will be forced to speak C.
gollark: `threads.h` will be removed since I read somewhere that you should just be using multiple processes anyway.
gollark: `signal.h` is unnecessary, the program will just ignore all signals and make it the OS's problem.
