Publisher Description
It’s been years since Conan of Cimmeria last set out on the sort of grim business for which the King of Aquilonia had become famous. Keeping his quest secret from all but his most trusted inner circle, he is soon on the trail of a mythical object of the ancient serpent people – the fabled Green Stone, stolen from the Temple of the Serpent in the days of King Kull.
Disguised as a Cimmerian thief – a role he knows well how to play – he must fight his way into a previously unknown cavern of the ancient race of snake men. Here has been stored a hoard of important objects and tokens of power valued by the serpent race, including the gem of which he has need.
But he must hurry; if he doesn't return with the stone in time, all he has struggled for will be for nothing and his world will never be the same.
This is a short story.
Customer Reviews
Not Howard, yet.
The author is young and, I suspect, will grow in ability. I am thinking of “Education of a Wandering Man”. Howard’s depth is not yet present. But, in whole it is a good story. It doesn’t fail in light of the genius of the original. And I really want to read the next one.
Atlas of the Serpent Men
Quite well written. Highly enjoyable. Faithful to the original Conan stories. I fully recommend it.
