The Conquering Sword of Conan (Conan of Cimmeria, Book 3)

The Conquering Sword of Conan (Conan of Cimmeria, Book 3)

â€œFor headling, nonstop adventure and for vivid, even florid, scenery, no one even comes close to Howard.â€â€”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 versionsâ€”often Howardâ€™s own manuscriptsâ€”are such sword-and-sorcery classics as â€œThe Servants of Bit-Yakinâ€ (formerly published as â€œJewels of Gwahlurâ€), â€œBeyond the Black River,â€ â€œThe Black Stranger,â€ â€œMan-Eaters of Zamboulaâ€ (formerly published as â€œShadows in Zamboulaâ€), and, perhaps his most famous adventure of all, â€œRed Nails.â€

The Conquering Sword of Conan includes never-before-published outlines, notes, and story drafts, plus a new introduction, personal correspondence, and the revealing essay â€œHyborian Genesisâ€â€”which chronicles the history of the creation of the Conan series. Truly, this is heroic fantasy at its finest.
