I know, I know these books are pulp. But if you are going to read pulp it should be like this and bloody good fun! ( )

Mr Carpenter is one of several authors to continue the adventures of Conan, filling in gaps of the larger-than-life character's history that the Great Robert E. Howard left unexplored.

I've read this one twice, first as a teenager, second when in my mid-twenties. Fifteen years on, I can't remember this tale in great detail, but know that I enjoyed it, though not as much as the Conan tales penned by Mr Howard. ( )
