Conan the Freebooter — L. Sprague de Camp; Robert E. Howard

Five bizarre tales from the incredible adventures of the most fabulous of all barbarian warriors:

HAWKS OVER SHEM
BLACK COLOSSUS
SHADOWS IN THE MOONLIGHT
THE ROAD OF THE EAGLES
A WITCH SHALL BE BORN

"Conan, the hero of all Howard's heroes, is the armored swashbuckler, indestructible and irresistible, that we've all wanted to be at one time or another; the women, in appearance, manner, and costume (or lack of it) are the inmates of the sort of harem that harems ought to be but aren't; the villains are villainous as only perfect villains can be; the sorcerers are sorcerers in spades; and the apparitions they conjure up, or who appear under their own power, are (thank God!) out of this world."
-DR. JOHN D. CLARK
