The Bloody Crown of Conan (Conan of Cimmeria, Book 2)

conan's the man,the howard books of him are the best.

The Conan stories as written by Robert E. Howard create a fascinating character and world. Conan is both smart and tough. This isn't Arnold's Conan.

All in all, I think I prefer the variety of the previous collection. Even though some of the stories where more then lacking, they still managed to entertain. That said, this is far from a dull or boring read.   hide
