His raw muscle and sinews, boiling temper, and lustylaughs are the gauge by which all modern heroes must be measured.”–ERIC NYLUND, Author ofHalo: The Fall of ReachandSignal to Noise“That teller of marvelous tales, Robert Howard, did indeed create a giant [Conan] in whose shadow other ‘hero tales’ must stand.”–JOHN JAKES,New York Timesbestselling authorof theNorth and Southtrilogy“For stark, living fear . . .
