"Howard's writing seems so highly charged with energy that it nearly gives off sparks." -Stephen King "Howard honestly believed the basic truth of the stories he was telling.

Howard?" -H. P. Lovecraft, "Howard's writing seems so highly charged with energy that it nearly gives off sparks."

Synopsis
"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., This volume completes the set of Howard's Conan stories with some of his finest work, including "Beyond the Black River" and "Red Nails" alongside rare early drafts and synopses., "For headling, 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.

    The book is in like new condition; better than described. It was packaged securely in a bubblewrap envelope, not merely a plastic bag. The book was listed for a fantastic price, too. Thank you, HPB-Emerald, for another perfect transaction from a truly excellent Seller!

    Book arrived quickly and in described condition. Packaging was just a waterproof mailer that arrived already open on one end, but the book suffered no damage from exposure. Likely, it was caused during the shipping process. The price was incredibly fair for the condition, and shipping was free. It cost far less than ordering it through their company website. Would absolutely buy from them again.

  • Robert E. Howard is great fun and adventure

    Howard is just so gritty and spine tingling to read. Simple stories sometimes, but you can feel your adrenaline spiking. Good to have on the night stand for a quick read.

  • An adventure filled book that any Howard fan will enjoy!

    The last of the Wandering Star collection of Robert E Howard's original Conan stories, it contains such acknowledged classics as "Red Nails" and "Beyond the Black River". These are the original, untampered with stories filled with adventure, monsters, and mayhem, that any fan of Sword and Sorcery will love.
