Overview

Conan the Barbarian - a warrior from the Northern wastes of Cimmeria, fighting his way through soft-bellied Hyboria and on to the Throne. Conan is the compelling hero at the centre of a wild ride of intrigue and mayhem, stalking lands that are savage in tooth and claw. His age is a time of chaos and destruction, of empires and wizards, of battles won and loves lost.

The wild Cimmerian is captured by his scheming enemies and imprisoned in dank dungeons, surrounded by monsters and haunted by his own demons. Will he escape? Will he regain his throne? In the savage land of Conan the Barbarian anything is possible. The only certainty is that success in the Hyborian age comes at a price - and that price is blood.

Also known as Conan the Conqueror.

About the Author

About The Author
Robert Ervin Howard (January 22, 1906 - June 11, 1936) was a classic American pulp writer of fantasy, horror, historical adventure, boxing, western, and detective fiction. Howard wrote "over three-hundred stories and seven-hundred poems of raw power and unbridled emotion" and is especially noted for his memorable depictions of "a sombre universe of swashbuckling adventure and darkling horror."

He is well known for having created - in the pages of the legendary Depression-era pulp magazine Weird Tales - the character Conan the Cimmerian, a.k.a. Conan the Barbarian, a literary icon whose pop-culture imprint can be compared to such icons as Tarzan of the Apes, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond.
Between Conan and his other heroes Howard created the genre now known as sword-and-sorcery in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
