Product Description

From Amazon.com

Three of Robert Jordan's best Conan novels have been collected in this omnibus volume, rich with the splendor and adventure of bygone ages. In Conan the Invincible, the young Conan and Karela, a sexy outlaw, outwit the necromancer Amanar and confront the Eater of Souls. In Conan the Defender, the mighty warrior challenges the magic-spawned Simulacrum of Albanus. And in Conan the Unconquered, Conan saves a beautiful young woman from the sorcerous Cult of Doom.

Review

5.0 out of 5 stars OVERALL SCORE: (A), Dec 26 2003
The story is lively and enjoyable, the characters are colorful and interesting, and the plot is energetic and spellbinding! The action scenes are much better than what you find in Robert Jordan "Wheel of Time" series, and much more readable.

OVERALL SCORE: (A)
READABILITY: (A-), PLOT: (B+), CHARATERS: (A-), DIALOGUE: (B-), SETTING: (B+), ACTION/COMBAT: (B+), MONSTERS/ANTAGONISTS: (B+), ROMANCE: (B+), SEX: (Light/Moderate), AGE LEVEL: (PG13)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good as Mod Conan goes..., Mar 22 2003
By S. L. Shrewsbury "sshrews316" (IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The modern era of Conan writers has never been up to Howard's original vision, but Jordan is as good as it gets. Great stories and characters in these tomes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for what it is, Oct 15 2002
By Erik J. Bays (Eugene, OR) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After reading 10,000 some odd pages of the wheel of time, part of me expected this to feel the same way. But these were certainly Conan stories. Each of these three stories were pretty much the same, kind of like watching three scooby doo episodes in a row: there is an evil socrerer working to enslave the world. Conan, along with another characterized warrior type, a handful of nameless fighters and a beautiful woman, get in the way of the sorcerer's plans. It's not as good as Robert E Howard, but entertaining IF thats what you're looking for (like scooby doo)

This book is not as good as a book as I would like to think being a fan of other Robert jordan books. Simply skip it and go to Wheel of Time.

I'm sorry - I have to set a few other reviewers straight. Robert Jordan's Conan stories WAY pre-date the Wheel of Time. Also, Conan is not his character. Read more
