Many have come along in the years since Robert E. Howard created his heroic character Conan to continue the Conan legacy. Though none have matched Howard's vivid portrayals of the distant legendary past with Howard's genius for brevity and clarity, many have still created enjoyable stories. Among these is Sean Moore's latest novel. The story is engaging and moves rather quickly. And Moore does a nice job of creating plots within plots. The mixing of sword and sorcery in this book is also well balanced. The only disappointment was the weak ending. The story wrapped up far too quickly and the "bad' guys were beaten too easily. Finally, the editor of the book could have done a better job at catching the several typos and grammatical mistakes. If you like the Conan mythos, you should enjoy this novel.

This book is action packed like a previous review said "i never wanted to put it down". Its also got some hyborian history about the fall of the powerful acheron emrpire. Definitly recomend this book.

While I enjoyed the book (it was quick and entertaining escape), it was not the author's best effort. Do not get me wrong, the book is a fun read. However, I did not think the bad guys were particularly well developed, and Conan's character seemed to flip-flop between being an ale-swilling loser to being a hard-fighting barbarian with a conscience (in my opinion, its always better for a real "good guy" to win). Go ahead and read this book, but then read "Conan The Destroyer."

One of the best books I've ever read in my life. It kept me reading it, I never wanted to put it down.
