Three classic Conan novels from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Wheel of Time
Before Robert Jordan conquered the bestseller lists with the Wheel of Time, he revived the legendary fantasy hero Conan the Cimmerian. These widely acclaimed adventures introduced the world-famous barbarian to a whole new generation of enthusiastic readers. Here are three powerful sagas, featuring all the storytelling magic and epic splendor that have made Robert Jordan one of the most beloved fantasy authors in history.
Conan the Invincible: Less than nineteen years old and new to the snares and enticements of civilization, the young Conan must join forces with a dangerously seductive female bandit to storm the palace of Amanar, a supremely evil necromancer, and confront the dreaded Eater of Souls.
Conan the Defender: As revolution brews in the shadowy streets of Belverus, Conan braves the traps and treacheries of the Royal Palace of the Dragon. Pursued by the luscious and shameless Sularia, the mighty warrior challenges a magic-spawned menace that cannot die: the invincible Simulacrum of Albanus.
Conan the Unconquered: Conan defies the sorcerous power of the Cult of Doom for the sake of a beautiful young woman known only as Yasbet. From the glory of fabled Aghrapur to the demon-haunted wastes of the Blasted Lands, Conan proves himself the greatest hero of a bygone era of high adventure.

Conan Chronicles, Vol. 1
This is what I refer to as my "dessert reading;" the kind of pulpy, high action that I resort to after a certain hour of the night when I am just to tired to deal with the subtlties in Plutarch or Shakespeare or the histories. Given my recent readings in history, I suspect that the character of Conan invented by Robert E. Howard and continued here by Robert Jordan is a much less complex sort of human being than those who actually lived in those times. But when I've just pulled a couple of forty hour shifts and it's closing on midnight, I am not in the mood for plots I have to guess at--give me a good formula with variations much like a good classical riff of Ravel's Bolero--and characters I have to work to understand. I'll save that for times when I am fresh, wide awake, and looking for some mental stimulation. I liked these three novels: they range over a wide territory, the action keeps coming, and the characters, if not deep, are quirky. There probably aren't any lessons to be learned here. After all, how could stories about courageous individuals trying their best to survive in a world full of greedy merchants, corrupt leaders, raving priests, mad cultists and servile minions possibly provide inspiration for those of us dealing with modern reality? . . . .Maybe I better sharpen that sword, just in case.
