CONAN
THE BUCCANEER


"Conan stood silently at the quarterdeck rail as the Westrel veered into strange waters.  With only he pole star to guide him, what might he encounter in the darkly glittering immensity?  What fabulous isles and unknown peoples?  Only his prey, the evil Zarono, knew better whiter he was bound!

"The mighty barbarian laughed gustily.  Crom!  A man could die but once.  Enough to combat the terror when one met it, with steel in the hand and battle madness in the heart.  He, Conan, would take his chances on the Nameless Isle."

Thrill with the most colossal hero of epic fantasy as he battles the demonic powers of Thoth-Amon in a mighty adventure in search of fabulous treasure and a beautiful princess!

Notes:
Lin Carter (June 9, 1930 - February 7, 1988) was born and raised in St Petersburg, Florida.  He later returned there after serving in the US Army  in the Korean Conflict where he received a Purple Heart.  He moved to New  York City and attended Columbia University in 1953 and 1954.  He worked as  a copywriter for law firms, ad agencies, and book publishers.  In 1969 he  became a full-time writer, editor and anthologist of fantasy & science  fiction until his death in February 7, 1988.

Fantasy was Carter's great favorite genre and the most of his writings were about "Swords and Sorcery".  He began writing stories while in high school with L Frank Baum, Edgar Rice Burroughs and J.R.R. Tolkien being his major influences.

Lin became an editor at Ballantine Books where he reprinted many of his earlier works.  Dell and DAW also published a lot of Lin Carter's stories.

  • 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.
