The Conan Chronicles: Volume 2: Hour of the Dragon

Description

Conan the Cimmerian: he rose from boy-thief and mercenary to become kingof Aquilonia. Neither supernatural fiends nor demonic sorcery could oppose the barbarian warrior as he wielded his mighty sword and dispatched his enemies to a bloody doom on the battlefields of the legendary Hyborian Age. Collected together for the first time anywhere in the world, in chronological order, are all Robert E. Howard's definitive stories of Conan, exactly as he wrote them, as fresh, atmospheric and vibrant today as when they were first published in the pulp magazines more than sixty years ago.

Raymond E. Feist 'Pure adventure yarns with a touch of weirdness' H.P. Lovecraft 'Howard possessed a vitality his followers never captured.' Michael Moorcock
