3.0 out of 5 stars
not the best but not the worst, July 5, 2000
This review is from: Conan and the Death Lord of Thanza (Mass Market Paperback)
It took a while for this tale to get rolling. It was heavily mixed with both a slow story line and intriguing situations. This was a thin story, however it was not a total waste of time. This one belongs in the middle of the pile. Not Green's best. It left me wondering.

1.0 out of 5 stars
a weakly contrived "movie plot"., May 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Conan and the Death Lord of Thanza (Mass Market Paperback)
this book was totally disjointed. the concept was sound,but from the beginning the characters were sadly two-dimensional.also it seems like Green couldnt make up his mind. and kept changing their personality to suit his poor story,which would have better fit into a hollywood movie of the ridiculous"batman & robin" vein

now hold on a minute, February 13, 2000
This review is from: Conan and the Death Lord of Thanza (Mass Market Paperback)
Nobody's expecting a Conan book to be Proust. That's not to say a really, really good Conan book couldn't be written, post-Howard, but this sure isn't it. Still, hold on a minute with the vitriol! Green isn't bad at all - and his characters aren't at all flat... except for Conan himself, who, I admit, eludes Green. Which you might think is a fatal flaw for a Conan book, but no! As 90 minutes of escapist reading, you could do a lot worse than this book
