OVERALL SCORE: (A)
28 Dec 2003
Format:Hardcover
This is a great read, it is a beautiful epic whose true force lies in the poignant details of its characters, richly detailed, woven into a wonderful tapestry.
This is one of the best fantasy series, the story is lively and entertaining, the characters are colorful and interesting, and the plot is energetic and spellbinding! The action scenes are much better than what you find in Robert Jordan "Wheel of Time" series, and much more manageable in scope.

A superb theater-of-the-mind experience.
5 April 2000
Conan of Cimmeria was the character originally created by Robert E. Howard and launched the fantasy genre known as "sword & sorcery". So popular was the character that after Howard's untimely death, others were sought to write more Conan action/adventure fantasy tales, first based on unfinished stories and story ideas that formed a part of the Howard's literary legacy. Then select authors began to be granted permission by the executors of the Howard estate to create more Conan stories, some of which found their way into such diverse media as comics, graphic novels, movies, and even television. This magnificently narrated tale holds all the classic elements of the genre: sorcerers and demons, warriors and smugglers, the renegade priestess of an ancient god, fabled cities, barbarian tribes, buxom wenches and high-minded ladies. These are tales that conjure up a theater-of-the-mind experience that will long be remembered after the listening is done.

He's back (again)!
16 Feb 2000
Format:Hardcover
Sure it's a reprint of old work, but who cares? Jordan does Conan justice and it's good to read (or re-read) them. Conan's been done by many others, but few as well as Jordan does. It's also nice to read something by him that doesn't take a program just to tell who the players are. It's a good read that you can afford to put down (if you can) and pick up again without re-reading the whole book to see where you were.
