I always NEED to know the ending.

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.

Thanks for the story Mark, I hope you'll read more Robert E. Howard stories. They are great to listen to. Hope you'll do some Solomon Kane stories or Bran Mak Morn, or King Kull. Great audio!!!!!

2nd Favorite Conan Story

(5 Sterne)

Beyond the Black River is my favorite, but this is a close second. First read this in 1980 while in high school, still brings back wonderful memories to this 54 year old man!

Great story well read

One of the best Conan tales

Gory, but excellent nonetheless

Well read, very polished.

Heroic swords and a little sorcery

(4 Sterne)

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.
