Book Reviews of The Conquering Sword of Conan (Conan of Cimmeria, Book 3)
Book Review: The Third Volume...
Summary: 5 Stars
It is amazing that Conan and all the stories he featured in could be covered in three books. I have the first and have to get the second, and I will, but the fact that such a huge Hero in the sword-and-sorcery genre came out of only a five year time period of short stories seems to me to be as amazing as how realistic the character is. He is flawed, humorous, sometimes greedy, always willing to bed a pretty lady and has a heart of gold. And, of course, nerves of iron. While you may watch the movies or the TV series, remember the real Conan are on the pages of these books.
Get them new or used.
Summary of The Conquering Sword of Conan (Conan of Cimmeria, Book 3)
“FOR HEADLONG, NONSTOP ADVENTURE AND FOR VIVID, EVEN FLORID, SCENERY, NO ONE EVEN COMES CLOSE TO HOWARD.”–Harry Turtledove
In a meteoric career that covered only a dozen years, Robert E. Howard defined the sword-and-sorcery genre. In doing so, he brought to life the archetypal adventurer known to millions around the world as Conan the barbarian.
Witness, then, Howard at his finest, and Conan at his most savage, in the latest volume featuring the collected works of Robert E. Howard, lavishly illustrated by award-winning artist Greg Manchess. Prepared directly from the earliest known versions–often Howard’s own manuscripts–are such sword-and-sorcery classics as “The Servants of Bit-Yakin” (formerly published as “Jewels of Gwahlur”), “Beyond the Black River,” “The Black Stranger,” “Man-Eaters of Zamboula” (formerly published as “Shadows in Zamboula”), and, perhaps his most famous adventure of all, “Red Nails.”
The Conquering Sword of Conan includes never-before-published outlines, notes, and story drafts, plus a new introduction, personal correspondence, and the revealing essay “Hyborian Genesis”–which chronicles the history of the creation of the Conan series. Truly, this is heroic fantasy at its finest.
