CONAN
THE ADVENTURER

The World's greatest
fantasy hero -
the ultimate warrior - Conan!

"Towering above the larger-than-life characters - almost above the fabulous Hyborian world itself - is the figure of... Conan!

"Great, gusty, swaggering, brawling, terrible, wonderful Conan!

"Thief, pirate, mercenary, warrior, general, king - his sandaled feet are unerringly set upon the road of empire. You have never met his like before - nor, I think, shall you ever again."

- ROY G. KRENKEL

Including THE SLITHERING SHADOW and THE DRUMS OF TOMBALKU - plus one of the greatest of all his adventures, THE PEOPLE OF THE BLACK CIRCLE!

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
