Publisher's Blurb – Lower Cover
Seven exciting stories about Conan – heroic fantasy's greatest adventurer
?Conan is the superman – or super-barbarian, rather – into whom the prolific Robert Erwin Howard was best able to inject his furious dreams of danger and power and unending adventure, of combative and sexual prowess, of hot impulses instantly followed, yet a fighting man's code never broken. Conan is a true hero of Valhalla, battling and suffering great wounds by day, carousing and wenching by night, and plunging into fresh adventures tomorrow. While the Hyborian Age through which Conan cuts his bloody swath is the most fully realised of Howard's fantasy worlds: mapped, geographically and economically plausible, provided with a stirring history and prehistory covering many cultures, and peopled by kings and beggars, peasants and poets, hags and queens and lusty girls, as well as warriors and warlocks'
