Conan the Mercenary

Summary: The worst Conan tale I've yet read...
Review: Conan the Mercenary, the sequel to Offutt's Conan and the Sorceror, is the worst Conan story I've yet read. The illustrations in the "illustrated novel" are quite horrible, and the text is big, which makes for a short story, essentially, not a book. Virtually nothing of note happens in this whole book, except for the fact that Conan gets his soul back. The action scenes are short and pointless, Conan's whole attitude and demeanor seems nothing like Conan, and overall this book was a waste of the time it took me to find a copy.

Skip this one.
