“For headling, nonstop adventure and for vivid, even florid, scenery, no one even comes close to Howard.”—Harry Turtledove

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.

Witness, then, Howard at his finest, and Conan at his most

savage, in the latest volume featuring the collected works of Robert E. Howard, lavishly

illustrated by award-winning artist Greg Manchess. Prepared directly from the earliest

known versions—often Howard’s own manuscripts—are such sword-and-sorcery classics

as “The Servants of Bit-Yakin” (formerly published as “Jewels of Gwahlur”), “Beyond

the Black River,” “The Black Stranger,” “Man-Eaters of Zamboula” (formerly published

as “Shadows in Zamboula”), and, perhaps his most famous adventure of all, “Red Nails.”

The Conquering Sword of Conan includes never-before-published outlines, notes, and

story drafts, plus a new introduction, personal correspondence, and the revealing

essay “Hyborian Genesis”—which chronicles the history of the creation of the Conan

series. Truly, this is heroic fantasy at its finest.

Reviews for Conquering Sword of Conan (#3 Omnibus Conan the Barbarian)

“Howard’s writing seems so highly charged with energy that it nearly gives off sparks.” –Stephen King “Howard honestly believed the basic truth of the stories he was telling. It’s as if he’d said, ‘This is how life was really lived in those former savage times!’ ” –David Drake “For stark, living fear . . . what other writer is even in the running with Robert E. Howard?” –H. P. Lovecraft
