Conan the Magnificent

Conan the Magnificent is actually quite a reasonable pastiche. The barbarian runs into a female thief, who bests him before he realises. Getting into more trouble, he has to leave Shadizar for a while, where he encounters a female noblewoman who likes to hunt with a small retinue. Some others would like her jewels and other treasures lurk, so there is sword swinging to be done, and an evil sorcerer to top it off.

I bought this book during it's first run in print,and found it very enjoyable. the characters had a real feel to them, and the story itself was a smoker! It would be a great thing if Mr. Jordan would write another story with Conan and Eldran! Hey, if you're reading this review Mr. Jordan, try it out.
