Coming of Conan the Cimmerian

Howard's writing seems so highly charged that it nearly gives off sparks. -STEPHEN KING I adore these books. Howard had a gritty, vibrant style-broadsword writing that cut its way to the heart, with heroes who are truly larger than life. I heartily recommend them to anyone who loves fantasy. -DAVID GEMMELL Author of Legend and White Wolf The voice of Robert E. Howard still resonates after decades with readers- equal parts ringing steel, thunderous horse hooves, and spattered blood. Far from being a stereotype, his creation of Conan is the high heroic adventurer. His raw muscle and sinews, boiling temper, and lusty laughs are the gauge by which all modern heroes must be measured. -ERIC NYLUND, Author of Halo: The Fall of Reach and Signal to Noise That teller of marvelous tales, Robert Howard, did indeed create a giant [Conan] in whose shadow other 'hero tales' must stand. -JOHN JAKES, New York Times bestselling author of the North and South trilogy For stark, living fear . . . What other writer is even in the running with Robert E. Howard? -H. P. LOVECRAFT Howard s writing seems so highly charged that it nearly gives off sparks. STEPHEN KING I adore these books.
