3.0 out of 5 stars Well written entry in series Mar 4 2001
By Kevin Cole - Published on Amazon.com
As with all books in TOR's "Conan" series, any resemblance the main character has to Robert E. Howard's creation is purely coincidental. Despite that, however, this is a well-crafted sword & sorcery novel about a warrior whose mercenary band is betrayed by their employer. The band then strikes back against the traitor's army and pet wizard.

The main problem with the book is the climax of the story. *** SPOILER *** Like many entries in this series, the author sets up a wizard as the main threat to Conan's plans and then builds towards Conan destroying the character. Unfortunately, Conan screws up only to be saved by a magical creature with little connection to the rest of the story.

A good read if you like this series, though.

3.0 out of 5 stars Conan the Better-Off-Unwritten Sep 9 2012
By Barry Dorman - Published on Amazon.com
Conan joins a mercenary band working for Prince Ivor who seeks to usurp his Uncle Strabonus. When Ivor unexpectedly reconciles with his uncle, he determines to kill the mercenaries rather than pay them. Even today most people prefer a paycheck to death, so it is understandable that the mercenaries decide to fight back.

I first met Robert E. Howard's Conan about 30 years ago and have been a fan ever since--the man in this book is clearly an imposter. I would give this book less than 3 stars, but I decided to buffer against my bias for the authentic Conan. Those who enjoy the Conan pastiches may find this to be a 3 or even 4 star book--personally, I would not have read it had I not gotten it for free with something else I bought.

I must agree with the other reviewer that the intercession of the absurdly unlikely creature during climactic events really spoils the read--it is almost as if the author wrote himself into a corner and then magically reappeared elsewhere in order to meet a deadline.
