Product Description
Sailing under the grim skull-jack flag of the Red Brotherhood, Conan is the most feared pirate to prowl the Vilayet Sea, claiming as hi booty even Philiope, the beautiful black-haired daughter of a powerful nobleman. But in the domed imperial palace of Aghrapur, the decadent Emperor Yildiz and his corrupt allies plot the destruction of the powerful barbarian the know only as Amra the Lion.
As Conan carves a pirate empire with cutlass and dagger, the Turanian navy takes to the seas, aided by hellish sorcery of the darkest sort. Mighty ships manned by undead zombies, and a titanic monster summoned from the nether depths, are pitted against the deadly sword of one man...Conan of the Red Brotherhood

2.0 out of 5 stars
an uninspired conan tale,
This review is from: Conan of the Red Brotherhood (Mass Market Paperback)
This title is perhaps one of the weakest entries in the Conan series. The book plods along at an uneven pace, and far too much time is devoted to developing secondary characters. The book, however, is not completely devoid of redeeming qualities. Carpenter's knack for characterization shows through although at the expense of the action many "Conan readers" are accustomed to.

Conan the Pirate,
By Larry E "Lord of the Library" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Conan of the Red Brotherhood (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm not one of those who thinks only Conan stories by Robert E. Howard are of any worth. Sure he's the best but there have been other works of merit under the Conan aegis. Leonard Carpenter wrote one of my favorite non-Howard Conan's with "Conan Lord of the Black River". Here, Carpenter slips a little. Granted we get the rare treat of one of Conan's wenches from a previous story returning and playing a major role in a second, but some of the goings-on in this one are a stretch. During a project to come up with a naval weapon capable of defeating the pirates, a wizard stumbles on the steam engine. The silliness took away a bit from the story. And one wonders why Conan stuck with the crew of whiners that seemed to mutiny every time he turned around. On the plus side, we see Yildiz and Yezdigerd, 2 implacable foes of Conan during the series, trying to come up with a new idea for besting him. Mysterious centipede creatures and a sorceror's unique use for them add a bit of horror. Fair non Howard Conan, better than some but not as good as others.
