In a meteoric career that covered only a dozen years, Robert E. Howard defined the sword and sorcery genre. In doing so, he brought to life the archetypal adventurer known to millions around the world as Conan the barbarian.

This collection features Howard at his finest and Conan at his most savage.

Truly heroic fantasy at its best, this volume contains "The Servants of Bit-Yakin", "Beyond the Black River", "The Black Stranger", "The Man-Eaters of Zamboula", and "Red Nails", which is perhaps Conan's most famous adventure.

Unfortunately there are no chapter titles in the contents. This is a volume with several stories, not a novel. It's nice to be able to pick an individual tale out.

For Conan fans, apparently by Conan fans.

Conan is as great as ever. the Narrator on the other hand...

I actually like him. overall, I like him. he has a good voice and i enjoyed him in the Halo novels.
but he has a gaping flaw in that he just mispronounces the oddest of words, seemingly having never been corrected on it in his life.
"Mjölnir" For example, he pronounces like "Ma-jol-ner'
"sword" He pronounces like "Sward"
oddly enough, he will pronounce made up words in stories just fine. "Derketo" "Dagon" And "Bit Yakeen" but ask the man to pronounce some fairly common English words and...

it's not a huge issue admittedly. but it's definitely noticeable and it takes you out of it for a moment.

The Narrator...

This is the third book in this series, not that such matters a great deal as Conan's takes do not require a reading based on a timeline. As always the tales are epic. Red Nails, in particular, comes to vivid life here and by itself is worth the price of admission.

If you could sum up The Conquering Sword of Conan in three words, what would they be?

Fascinating, Riveting, Compelling

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Conquering Sword of Conan?

Conan tricking Nafertari. Who does she think she was, trying to get him to do all this stuff for him, after he completes even more missions. He never said a word, took that ring and was out!!!

Which scene was your favorite?

The strangling of Baal-pteor... i can't help it. I read this scene about 2 years ago, and was happy to know that this book had Shadows in Zamboula.

Any additional comments?

I'm a different sort of Conan fan. I started off, as a young child reading my brothers Savage Sword of Conan mags, then getting into myself, reading hundreds of regular Conan and King Conan books of Marvel. Saw the Conan movies, got treated to 2 different Cartoon Conan series, then took it upon myself to star reading the non-Robert Howard created books like Conan The Wanderer etc. Now i find myself, being fully versed in Howard's work, as with the work of others as sort of an authoritarian of sorts. I can't tell you how many times i've read / listened to Red Nails.

By Crom! What a Listening Experience!!!

Herein lies some of Howard’s best work on Conan. Everything you could want in a sword and sorcery yarn is present, almost mythical in its ability to make you feel like you’re stepping into an age undreamed of.

Quintessential Conan
