A Fabulous Journey...

This is maybe my favorite non-Howard Conan adventure. We get to follow Conan and company on a great voyage through Stygian waters, then into the Black Kingdoms, into the heart of a decadent kingdom...With this book, Roberts proves himself Howard's equal in action sequences, but there's more to a Conan story than swordplay. Roberts portrays Conan as having his own sense of nobility and honor, and he endows the supporting characters with their own motivations and traits. By the end of the book, you are almost sad to see these characters depart (one way or another). It's an impressive job, and I hope they reprint this novel soon so more people can read it and enjoy the journey.
