What to expect
Two epics in one as Conan the mercenary faces hideously transformed wizards and undead creatures in action-packed fantasy combining Robert E. Howard’s trademark sword and sorcery with concepts straight out of Lovecraftian horror.
Combines the classic Conan and the Emerald Lotus with the all-new, original Conan and the Living Plague.
The long-awaited follow-up to Conan and the Emerald Lotus brings John C. Hocking back to the sagas of the Cimmerian.
In Conan and the Emerald Lotus, the seeds of a deadly, addictive plant grant sorcerers immense power, but turn its users into inhuman killers.
In the exclusive, long-awaited sequel Conan and the Living Plague, a Shemite wizard seeks to create a serum to use as a lethal weapon. Instead he unleashes a hideous monster on the city of Dulcine. Hired to loot the city of its treasures, Conan and his fellows in the mercenary troop find themselves trapped in the depths of the city’s keep. To escape, they must defeat the creature, its plague-wracked undead followers, then face Lovecraftian horrors beyond mortal comprehension.
Critics Review
“Well-drawn characters, a head-long pace, and plenty of epic action scenes, while staying true to Howard’s original vision of the character and vividly capturing the Hyborian Age.”
“John does REH and the entire genre proud.”
“Sharp prose, tight plotting, smart dialogue, and driving action scenes, leveraged with fantastic world building and a twisted gift for the macabre and horror”
