      The first ever Conan story ever written. Funny enough, it takes place near the end of his adventuring career. The series was never told in chronological order, yet that's what made it unique. Still holds up as a solid read.
    • 4/5
      This is one of my favorites by Howard. The way this story flows is a perfect premise for the start of this supposed Conan film that Arnold has been talking about for years. He is at the right time and place and the right age to do this. Perfect story to start a movie about an old and grouchy King Conan.
    • 4/5
      Definitely pulp. But wow, what a writer.
