Why read it?
1 author picked The Complete Chronicles of Conan as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Written one hundred years ago, the original Conan stories brought alive a world so rich in culture and history that it is still badly imitated by hundreds of authors.
Besides great writing of action and suspense, Howard also presented theories about evolution and civilization and colorful prose with a very strong vocabulary that stimulated my young mind. Far from the brutish Conan to which we’ve become accustomed, the original was given to philosophical discussion that shows Howard had a remarkable intellect.
From Alexander's list on fantasy and sci-fi books with lasting impression.
If you love The Complete Chronicles of Conan...

The Blade in the Angel's Shadow delivers a compelling fusion of dark magic, espionage, and philosophical tension between chaos and order.
A heretic swordswoman, cosmic entities using humans as pawns, Elizabethan occultism, time travel, and the apocalyptic ambitions of the Angels? It’s bold, unsettling, and fiercely imaginative.
