Conan the Barbarian is one of the most famed figures in fantasy fiction. Now is the time to revisit Robert E. Howard's classic stories, first published almost eighty years ago but still as vibrant as ever. In Conan the Indomitable, Conan learns the secrets of THE SCARLET CITADEL and THE HOUR OF THE DRAGON, and meets THE BLACK STRANGER and THE PHOENIX ON THE SWORD. A selection of other tales and fragments round out this new collection of one of the most loved characters in literature. Presented in chronological order over three books, all of Conan's life is here - from his wild adventures as a youth to the final tale of Conan the King. Howard's tales of the wanderer, the reaver, the thief - the Barbarian - have never been surpassed.
Author

Robert Ervin Howard was an American pulp writer of fantasy, horror, historical adventure, boxing, western, and detective fiction. Howard wrote "over three-hundred stories and seven-hundred poems of raw power and unbridled emotion" and is especially noted for his memorable depictions of "a sombre universe of swashbuckling adventure and darkling horror." He is well known for having created—in the pages of the legendary Depression-era pulp magazine Weird Tales—the character Conan the Cimmerian, a.k.a. Conan the Barbarian, a literary icon whose pop-culture imprint can only be compared to such icons as Tarzan of the Apes, Count Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond. —Wikipedia Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
