The Second Conan Omnibus: The Master Swordsman

From Mercenary to Monarch. This collection of classic Conan tales from the pen of the immortal Robert E. Howard follow the second half of the barbarian swordsman's career. Included are "Beyond the Black River," "The Jewels of Gwahlur." and the climactic Conan novel, Hour of the Dragon, detailing his fight against blackest magic and betrayal to hold on to the kingdom he has conquered. Here is the pure quill barbarian as Howard created him, and not the watered down character of the comic books and de Camp paperbacks.
