Conan of the New World - Paperback

by Mark Lepera (Author)

In the final book of Robert E. Howard's original saga, "Conan the Isles," we find an aged King Conan, sailing westward into unknown oceans, battling winged dragon-ships and a bloodthirsty priest cult to rescue his kidnapped people from the mysterious Red Shadows. Fighting man and beast, he frees his crew, regains their captured ship, and sails from this Caribbean civilization.

Now, in this series continuation, Conan regains his ship and sails northward into new lands and new adventures. With his trusty crew, plus a few more daring souls saved by Conan's hand, they investigate a "New World" that hides an ancient secret. Jungles, savages, and terrible reptiles guard a fabulous treasure, that of the fabled Fountain of Youth, igniting a new fire in his battle-hardened soul with new adventures for the crew of the Red Lion.

Yet great treasure demands a great price, and a silken cage awaits them amid humanity's most enigmatic lost civilizations. Deep in an underground city, world history unfolds, mirroring Conan's own saga in chilling detail. Only raw cunning, unyielding will, divine providence, and a woman's sacrificial love enable their escape and vengeful reckoning.

Blood, sorcery, and barbaric triumph clash in this epic Hyborian twilight-where legends defy death itself. And it is only the beginning of a new era of Conan adventures.
