Valeria returns

Green brings back Valeria, another of Conan's she-pirates, from the REH novelette Red Nails. The story takes place immediately after that adventure (one of Howard's best). It's a rousing trek through the jungle for Conan and Valeria as they try to reach the coast. Along the way they befriend a native tribe and battle the usual assortment of creatures and shamans. Roland Green did a good job with the jungle portions of Conan at the Demon's Gate and his skill with the genre makes me wish for a little Tarzan pastiche out of him. The battle with the Golden Serpent is one of the best Conan vs giant serpent encounters ever.

Green delivers good, solid fun.

Good characters, well developed intrigues and flashes of blood, sorcery and rampaging creatures. I'll definitely join Green for another Conan adventure.
