When he got into it, his prose slashed at your heart and sucked you in to what was going on, and he didn't let you go until it was time for you to hide form Conan's sword :)”

Read Conan as Howard intended him to be. You will find that Conan is more than just a big semi-naked barbarian with a sword. He speaks and reads many languages and thinks his way through a lot of what he encounters. But then when that doesn't work he can swing a sword with the best of them. Highly recommended ”

Howard (I'm not a big fan of most fantasy). This work goes back to the 1930's and shows you what the "real" Conan was meant to be, not the modern character we know from the comics, movies or pastiche works.
The most pure escapism I've enjoyed since childhood.”
