The Quest for Cush also known as Imaro II: The Quest for Cush is a Dark Fantasy novel written by Charles R. Saunders, and published by Daw Books in 1984. The Quest for Cush was the second book in the original Imaro Trilogy. The novel was a carefully chosen collection of four short stories (In Mwenni, In Bana-Gui, On the Bahari Mashiriki, and In Kush) which were originally published in Dark Fantasy a fanzine published by Canadian comic book artist Gene Day during the 1970's.
An updated trade paperback version of the Quest for Cush is due out on January 15, 2007 from Night Shade Books. In an update from the Daw version, Saunders moves Imaro's first meeting with Tanisha and Pomphis from the last chapter in Imaro to the first chapter in the Quest for Cush.
| "The Kandiss of Cush charged me to seek he who was the greatest of all warriors, seek him and return with him to Cush. For the Mashataan, the Demon Gods, are once again astir, and all Nyumbani is in danger. I have witnessed your deeds and I am convinced you are the one the Kandiss meant."
