The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian: The Original Adventures of the Greatest Sword and Sorcery Hero of All Time!

"Howard's writing seems so highly charged that it nearly gives off sparks."--Stephen King

"I adore these books. Howard had a gritty, vibrant style-broadsword writing that cut its way to the heart, with heroes who are truly larger than life. I heartily recommend them to anyone who loves fantasy."--David Gemmell, author of Legend and White Wolf

"The voice of Robert E. Howard still resonates after decades with readers- equal parts ringing steel, thunderous horse hooves, and spattered blood. Far from being a stereotype, his creation of Conan is the high heroic adventurer. His raw muscle and sinews, boiling temper, and lusty
laughs are the gauge by which all modern heroes must be measured."--Eric Nyulnd, author of Halo: The Fall of Reach and Signal to Noise

"That teller of marvelous tales, Robert Howard, did indeed create a giant [Conan] in whose shadow other 'hero tales' must stand."-John Jakes, New York Times bestselling author of the North and South trilogy

"For stark, living fear . . . What other writer is even in the running with Robert E. Howard?"--H. P. Lovecraft
