Two of the most famous contributors to the Conan legend present the official novel of Conan the Barbarian, the seminal fantasy film written by John Milius and Oliver Stone.
In the novel by L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter, the Cimmerian youth Conan witnesses the death of his parents at the hands of Thulsa Doom, a priest of Set. Enslaved, he is trained as a gladiator. Gaining his freedom he allies with Subotai, a Hyrkanian archer, and a skilled swordswoman thief named Valeria. Together they raid the Tower of the Serpent, and then Conan breaks away to seek the cult of Doom—and revenge on the sorcerer who leads it.

Thoroughly enjoyable!

The story just works. It works in the movie and of course it works in the novel. They brought back the OGs to adapt this one - Lin Carter and L Sprauge De Camp. These guys are legends in the sword and sorcery genre for their work on the Conan pastiches. I was not disappointed by their work on this novel.
I'm glad the authors gave us a version of the actual Conan instead of Arnold.
Whatever company it is nowadays pushing these Conan novels (especially in audiobook format) you guys are heros.
And in the meantime - how about getting this great narrarator to do some of the past DeCamp/Carter novels? The pastiches don't get the love they deserve because for some reason it's cool to be seen as a Howard purist.
Great work all around for everyone involved in this - I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and I'll be giving it another listen for sure!
Great Conan Addition

Exceeded My Expectations

Normally, I wouldn't think padding out a scene from the movie would add anything, but it allowed for so much more character development for Conan without having all the time in the world to depict him and his friends that way in the film's story.
It doesn't deviate too drastically from the film, and is very much just the super extended cut of this story. Which I was completely fine with. This novel has raised the bar for how to make a proper film to a book adaptation.
This book is amazing.

I’ve probably watched the movie 200x, and this still brought a ton of enjoyment. Wasn’t a bit of retelling.
Great compliment to the movie
