Conan the Free Lance

by Steve Perry

Book Overview

Fate tosses the dice for Conan of Cimmeria, and they come up...death. Dimma, the Mist Mage, knows nothing of the muscular Cimmerian, but the vile necromancer's plans require his death. Thayla, beautiful Queen of the Pili, would rather take Conan to her bed, but her own plots mean he must die.

Customer Reviews

"Crom's Funnybone!"

"What is good in life?" Laughter! Author Steve Perry attempts to bring humor to the grim world of the bronzed Cimmerian and succeeds well! Though be it known, this is not a parody. Perry stays true to Howards creation. No changes were made to the charactor, Conan for the sake of comedy. Reading through the pages you can smell the dust on the road, feel the ringing of steel against your forarm, and the hairs on your neck prickle sharply at the intrusion of wretched sorcery in an honest thief's life. Several times Steve Perry's book had to be put down to allow arms to grip ribs in side splitting laughter. This story and other Conan tales by Perry have the same wit and style. If you share the appreciation of films like "Evil Dead" then this work should not be missed.
