Synopsis
Here for the first time in book form, is a novel-length adventure of the most famous barbarian-warrior of them all, Coan. The colorful excitement is on another time, in the legendary kingdoms when earth was young.
In his delightfyl introduction, Dr. John D. Clark suggests the reasons for the outstanding success of the late Robert E. Howard's fabulous character of Conan. "Above all," he says, "Hopward was a story-teller. the story came first, last and in between. Somthing is always happening, and the flow of action never hesitates from beginning to end, as one incident flows smoothly and inevitably into the next."
As for Conan himself, "He is the srmored swashbuckler, the hero of all of Howards's heroes, indestructible and irrestible.
"How was a story-teller," Dr. Clark emphasizes. "The tales are the sword-and-cloaker carried to the ultimate limit and a little beyond... the parts of a writer that don't die with his body ar ehis stories -- and Howard's yarns are not going to die for a long time among thos ewho frankly and whil-heartedly like adventure on the grand scale."
