Why are all the Conan's out-of-stock?,
By
This review is from: Conan the Warrior (Paperback)
The original Lancer paperback was supposed to be the 2nd in an 8-part reissue of the Conan stories. All 3 stories are by Robert E. Howard; none are 'finished' by L. Sprague De Camp. "Red Nails" is one of REH's best. Unlike the typical tale of the lost city, dying race and monster-menaced ingenue this tale gives us the tough female pirate Valeria, who I wish we saw more of (in a different sense from what Howard provides!) "Jewels of Gwahlur" is more typical of the lost- city genre, with Conan breaking up an attempt to defraud an African kindom of its mystic gems and rescuing the girl at the same time. "Beyond the Black River" is classic Conan, as the mercenary- barbarian fights the Picts on behalf of Aquilonian colonizers. Great stuff!

One of the Best Conan novel's I've read,
By
This review is from: Conan 07/warrior (Conan Series) (Paperback)
This is Robert E. Howard's best Conan novel, in my opinion. In one of the stories, Conan is forced to battle a prehistoric lizard, and outwits it rather than using "mighty thews" and "barbaric primal fury". Also, at the end of the same story, Conan is actually trapped for a while, and doesn't kill the main arch-enemy, but has to settle for eliminating the last bit of sword fodder. Overall, a good book.
