The Complete Chronicles of Conan - "People of the Black Circle", "Hour of the Dragon" (Hardcover, Centenary Edition)

Conan the Cimmerian--the boy-thief who became a mercenary, who fought and loved his way across fabled lands to become King of Aquilonia. Neither supernatural fiends nor demonic sorcery could oppose the barbarian warrior as he wielded his mighty sword and dispatched his enemies to a bloody doom on the battlefields of the legendary Hyborian age. Collected here in the chronological order they were first published are Robert E. Howard's definitive stories of Conan, exactly as he wrote them. A foreword and afterword by Stephen Jones provide a biography of Howard along with a comprehensive overview of his writing and background on the world of pulp fiction. World Fantasy Award-nominee Les Edwards contributes a black and white frontispiece, along with a gold embossed work on the leather-style cover, while Hugo Award- and Bram Stoker Award-winning editor and author Stephen Jones provides an insightful afterword.

Excellent product

This book contains all the short stories, poems, and incomplete works of Conan. This volume contains beautiful and detailed sketches, and the stories are spell binding, gripping and exciting. Howard was a genius and he left no stone unturned in delivering descriptive action. Only drawback, is that there is no map of the Hyborian Age inside. This book will not disappoint. A must have for every true Conan fan.

This is an exceptional edition! By far the best readily available version of Robert E. Howard's Conan stories. Any fan of Conan should have this on their wish list at the very least. The paper is thick and a nice subtle white colour. The binding is done well and does not feel flimsy. The faux leather texture, although not for everyone, feels durable enough to last quite a while. Inside the printing quality is very good with a nice map printed on both end papers. Some wonderful illustrations by the great Less Edwards are scattered throughout the book only adding to the joy of reading it! Completely worth the money twice over!
