Conan the Barbarian
ByPublisher Description
Two of the most famous contributors to the Conan legend write the official novel of CONAN THE BARBARIAN, the seminal fantasy film by John Milius.
In 1982, Robert E. Howard's iconic literary antihero, CONAN, slashed his way from page to screen after a perilous decades-long journey. With its potent mix of epic vistas and bloody battles, CONAN THE BARBARIAN thrilled moviegoers around the world and launched the film career of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
To mark the occasion, CONAN authors and editors L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter were tasked with translating the visions of filmmakers John Milius and Oliver Stone back to the printed page in this rollicking novelization of the original screenplay.
Heroic Signatures is proud to bring this sublime work of sword and sorcery back into print!

“I loved this book! took a break from a court of wings and ruin to read it and it was fun! the ending battle was kinda anticlimactic but the first half was great 😃 every woman conan met was indeed beautiful and he slept with most of them which was weird lol but it's super easy and fun. if you're in a reading slump I would highly suggest this book to get over it”
