Anderson observes the entropy of spirit that’s got individuals and nations in its icy grip, and, with a noble tilt to his head, he unsheathes his excalibur and stalks off to slay the beast that visits this plague upon the motherland. Though it’s hard to believe this is happening in 1982, there is something comfortingly antiquarian about The Broadsword and the Beast.
