Some flesh had fallen from his mighty frame, leaving him gaunt as a savage gray wolf of the northern steppes. ![]() True, sixty odd years had strewn abundant silver in the thick, black mane and the stiff, grizzled beard, cut short and square, that now clothed his grim lips and iron jaw. Conan is described: “As for King Conan, even that mightiest of champions, Time, had not yet broken him. The novel opens with King Conan being an exemplary ruler but bored with statecraft. I did notice a typographical error in a scene where Conan reminisces about “Juba,” clearly this should have been “Juma” from “The City of Skulls” and Conan the Buccaneer.Ĭonan of the Isles is dedicated to: John Jakes, Fritz Leiber, Michael Moorcock, and Jack Vance, our colleagues in S.A.G.A – the Swordsmen & Sorcerers’ Guild of America, Ltd. This novel was a paperback original so there is no need to discuss textual changes. ![]()
