About this eBook

Born in the fires of battle, Conan of Cimmeria lost his father and village when they were slaughtered by the cruel warlord Khalar Zym. Wandering the world alone, Conan was forged into a peerless warrior by hardship and bloodshed.

Years later, he crosses paths with Zym and his armies. But before Conan can exact vengeance, he must contend with the warlord's daughter-the seductive witch Marique-and a host of monstrous creatures. Only then will Conan's quest bring him face to face with Zym in an epic battle to avenge his people and save the world.

Ratings and reviews

Having read & re-read all the R. E. Howard many times, this mess isn't worth the bits & bytes needed to go digital! If you're versed at all in the original tales then you know Conan's parents AREN'T KILLED OFF! John Milius & now Stackpole pull this $#!+ because they need a revenge vehicle for their story! In Howard's books, there's actually written how Conan, "visited his gray haired old mother before returning to adventure in the south"! "Reading (the truth) is fundamental", people! And this book ain't it!
