Synopsis
The story of Conan is a fabulous adventure of the most famous barbarian-warrior in fiction. His life is a blaze of excitement in the colorful kingdoms of prehistoric legend. In the tumultuous Hyborean Age it was he -- with his mighty deeds -- who most shaped the course of history.
In this book we see Conan still a young man, but with his barbarian days on the wane. Before him stretches his most virile period, for he is a man who thrives on dander, reward -- and romance. Theough it all he can rely on hony one tre friend, his great sword, as often in his hands as by his side.
For all the thrilling episodes within, this book is essentially the story of a remarkable man. "A tall man," author Howard describes him, "mightly shouldered and deep of chest, with a massive corded neck and heavily weighted limbs. His brow was low and broad under a square-cut black mane, his eyes a volcanic blue that smoldered as if with some inner fire. His dark, scarred, almost sinister face was that of a fighting man, an dhis velvet garments could not conceal the hard, dangerous lines of his limbs."
This swiftly paced book is for every reader who enjoys traveling down the paths of exotic adventure.
