4.0 out of 5 stars Four tales of Conan as Raider, Thief, Pirate and Mercenary, 22 Sep 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Conan the Conqueror (Paperback)
The four tales in "Conan the Conqueror" cover most of the main aspects of the career of Robert E. Howard's character: raider, thief, pirate, and mercenary. (1) "Black Tears" by L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter is one of several pastiches written by the duo based upon hints in Howard's note and letters to fill up gaps in the saga. It takes place after the classic story "A Witch Shall Be Born" (in "Conan the Freebooter") as Conan leads his band of Zuagirs eastward to raid the cities and caravans of the Turanians. King Yezdigerd reacts by sending out a strong force to entrap Conan. (2) Shadows in Zamboula" by Robert E. Howard has Conan destitute after a week of guzzling, gorging, roistering, ... and gambling. This is an above average Conan the Thief story. (3) "The Devil in Iron" by Howard has Conan returning the seas as a pirate, putting together a crew from among his old friends the kozaki and the Red Fellowship of Vilayet Sea. Conan and his crew stumbled upon an inhuman creature and mayhem ensues. (4) The longest story in this collection, "The Flame Knife" was one of four uncompleted manuscripts by Howard completed by de Camp. This novella was originally an adventure in modern Afghanistan entitled "Three-Bladed Doom" staring Francis X. Gordon, Howard's brawny, brawling Irish adventurer. De Camp transformed the story into a Conan tale. After King Yezdigerd crushes the Kozak host, Conan retreats southward with a sizeable band and joins the army of Kobad Shah, king of Iranistan and one of Yezdigred's strongest rivals. These stories are rather standard fare, evidencing in part the problems de Camp and Carter had in filling all the gaps in the Conan saga. Certainly these are stories you would read out of a sense of completeness rather than because there are any real gems to be found within.

4.0 out of 5 stars Other review totally incorrect regarding content., 22 Jan 2009
By Stephen E. Andrews "Writer - 100 Must Read Se... (Somerset United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Readers beware - the other review here that claims this book is comprised of 4 conan stories is completely incorrect.

Instead, 'Conan the Conqueror' is in fact the only full-length Conan novel, not a collection of linked stories. It was originally entitled 'The Hour of the Dragon' and was (I believe) pretty much the last Conan story Howard completed before killing himself.

The other review refers to a completely different book, not 'Conan The Conqueror'.

As this is the only full-length Conan novel entirely by Howard, it is, of course, totally indispensible for fans of authentic sword and sorcery.
