I read my first Conan story many years ago. This is a fantastic reading bringing the characters to life. Thank you

Working the night shift has been made immeasurably bearable by listening to these adventures of Conan. The reader has a voice that is clear and commanding, the story, though lengthy, was captivating, keeping me enthralled and in suspence.l am looking forward to more of the same. Hail Librivox.

I've "read" a few of the Conan tales on Librivox but this one is the most satisfying so far. maybe I'm a little troubled by what appears to be a bit of casual racism towards Egyptians but, well, they're ancient Egyptians, so... Well... it works as a story. it's well plotted and has enough mix of predictable tropes of the genre with some nice innovative elements to have kept me engaged all the way through. Superbly read by Mark Nelson.
Great story, made even better by Mr. Nelson

This was my first Conan book, and it certainly wonât be my last. The story is fun, descriptive, and paints a vivid tale of adventure that will captivate your imagination for hours. Mark Nelson is a fantastic narrator. I could listen to this guy read the phone book. I no longer search authors, I just search Mark Nelson. He has a sci-fi collection on LibriVox that will probably keep me busy for a few years!
great adventure story

this was my first conan book and it was excellent, again very well read by mark nelson. i looked up the book after i finished, as i had the feeling alot had already happened prior and it turns out to be one of the later conan stories written. i would start from the first story and go from there if i was getting into conan
