CONAN THE CONQUEROR by Robert E. Howard

CONAN THE CONQUEROR

By

Pub Date: Sept. 24th, 1950
Publisher: Gnome Press

A time projection which puts its emphasis on necromancy tells of the barbarian, Conan's conjurement at the hands of his enemies and his attempts and travels to win back his kingdom. With the resurrection of Xaltotun, a sorcerer of famous powers, Conan is forced out of his country to find the heart of Ahrimam, which has brought Xaltotun back to life, and which will be the means of Conan's return to his people. The fight against his usurper, and against the plots to enslave him, and his own battles to withhold his imperious temper, the search for the heart, all lead to a fight to the finish in fairy tale terms. For the Derieth-Lovecraft fans.
