The Bloody Crown of Conan

De: Robert E. Howard

Narrado por: Todd McLaren

In his hugely influential and tempestuous career, Robert E. Howard created the genre that came to be known as sword and sorcery - and brought to life one of fantasy's boldest and most enduring figures: Conan the Cimmerian, reaver, slayer, barbarian, king. This volume gathers together three of Howard's longest and most famous Conan stories:

"The People of the Black Circle": Amid the towering crags of Vendhya, in the shadowy citadel of the Black Circle, Yasmina of the golden throne seeks vengeance against the Black Seers. Her only ally is also her most formidable enemy - Conan, the outlaw chief.

"The Hour of the Dragon": Toppled from the throne of Aquilonia by the evil machinations of an undead wizard, Conan must find the fabled jewel known as the Heart of Ahriman to reclaim his crown...and save his life.

"A Witch Shall Be Born": A malevolent witch of evil beauty. An enslaved queen. A kingdom in the iron grip of ruthless mercenaries. And Conan, who plots deadly vengeance against the human wolf who left him in the desert to die.

Don't read this if you're a Tolkien or Martin fan.

When your listening you realize that the authors of Game of Thrones & Lord of the Rings cannibalized the Conan stories. When I finished all 3 books I was ashamed that I liked either series.

Great Conan must read

Robert E. Howard some of his best work slashing and hacking blood & gore
Greatest work for Conan fans every where

Conan King of Aqulonia

Loved it! Robert E. Howard was a master storyteller. The narrator does an excellent job. Hour of the Dragon is a spectacular piece of storytelling.

Fantastic and Essential

Howard is the blueprint for all Sword&Sorcery. He is the earth upon which giants stand!

The second Conan book in a collection of Robert E. Howard stories that is as important as the first. People often say that a good writers stand on the shoulders of giants. Howard is the earth on which the giants of High Fantasy and Sword&Sorcery stand. He is the big bang that sparked a whole new genera during his short time on earth.

If your a fan of Fantasy and Weird Fiction then this is one of three essential authors you must read. The other two being H.P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith who were Howard's contemporaries and friends.

Conan stories have always kept my attention. I and a few of my friends

the number one thing I hate about Howards Conan stories, they always come to an end 😢.
