Conan lives!

Another Outstanding trio of savage Conan stories by the master Robert Jordan. Arguably the best Conan writer after the great Robert E Howard. The collection of stories really captures the nature of the barbarian warrior as he battles sorcerers ,evil rulers,etc, spending his illgotten gains obtained from fat greedy merchants on loose women and drink A feast for red blooded men

conan lovers will love these stories

even though robert jordan first captured me with the wheel of time series after book 6 it just all went downhill from there BIGTIME...BUT i must give him his due he sure can write some conan novels!!. jordan is at his best here all of his conan books made me roar with laughter and made me hunt for more... kudos jordan come back to writing conan and forget the WOT series.

OVERALL SCORE: (A)

This is a great read, it is a beautiful epic whose true force lies in the poignant details of its characters, richly detailed, woven into a wonderful tapestry.This is one of the best fantasy series, the story is lively and entertaining, the characters are colorful and interesting, and the plot is energetic and spellbinding! The action scenes are much better than what you find in Robert Jordan "Wheel of Time" series, and much more manageable in scope. OVERALL SCORE: (A)READABILITY: (A), PLOT: (B+), CHARATERS: (A), DIALOGUE: (B-), SETTING: (B+), ACTION/COMBAT: (B+), MONSTERS/ANTAGONISTS: (B+), ROMANCE: (B+), SEX: (Light/Moderate), AGE LEVEL: (PG13)

He's back (again)!

Sure it's a reprint of old work, but who cares? Jordan does Conan justice and it's good to read (or re-read) them. Conan's been done by many others, but few as well as Jordan does. It's also nice to read something by him that doesn't take a program just to tell who the players are. It's a good read that you can afford to put down (if you can) and pick up again without re-reading the whole book to see where you were.

The best Conan author since Howard, these are great!

Too bad these are reprints, and not new books by Jordan on Conan
