I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I AM SORRY I TOOK THE TIME TO READ THIS ONE
26 July 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I like Conan, I like Howard and I like many of the authors who have taken the story line and added to the adventures of Conan. This book was an exception. I have to agree with a couple of the other reviewers here that were not all that thrilled over this work. One stated that it was simply silly. I think the reviewer was being overly kind here. Perry is indeed capable of readable work, but he was certainy off the mark with this one. I gave this one two stars simply because it was a Conan story and I have a certainly loyality to the big lug. Overall, do not recommend this work.
lots of great ideas but he doesn't fight worm or cyclops

This book over all is an ok story. By no means Perry's best work or the best Conan story out there. But the book is fast paced and full of action. Perry has a way of keeping you reading and keeping the story going. The story picks up right after Conan the Defiant and quickly starts going. Most of the story takes place underground and at times has a been there read that feel. But Perry breathes new life into. The catfish boat is one example of "I swear I have read something like that before" but even if it has been read before it is still good going.
Other minor problems I found was the witch and warlock part at times became redundant. They were also killed off pretty fast at the end, with the witches death ending just like I thought it would. Harskeel plot was through out the story, and was a major part of it, but the ending of this charter, as funny as it was, was poof, leaving you scratching your head, was it just for this one funny part at the end? Why did Conan not fall to the witches power once she bedded him? And the Demons death at the end, just too easy. Time line between Conan and the creatures getting a revolt didn't add up either.
what did work was the unification's of the creatures of the caves against the wizard, and the friendship of the worm and cyclops. Conan's companions were good for the story. Good play between Conan and returning Elashi from the last story. Lalo story line was very funny, and Tull was a good add to the story.
Overall not a bad read. Taken for what it is, a story about a young Conan causing trouble in an underground kingdom. Not bad, but not great-ERIC
