This review is from: The Complete Action Stories (Paperback)
I loved this book I enjoyed Howard's sword and sorcery novels years ago and hoped to enjoy these stories of Steve Corrigan and Breckinridge Elkins.They are great!

Perfect Blend,
This review is from: The Complete Action Stories (Paperback)
The stories in this collection are a perfect blend of slapstick humor and smashmouth action. The next movie about a Howard character should either be about Sailor Steve Costigan or Breck Elkins.

Old school action,
By
This review is from: The Complete Action Stories (Hardcover)
Robert E. Howard's characters explode from the page with flashing blades and cracking fists. This extensive collection is a great way to meet the more modern, non-fantasy characters by the man who made Conan. This is the way action was meant to be. You can smell the sweat and taste the sand and blood in your teeth.
