A grand adventure of the mighty thewed barbarian, from one of Fantasy’s biggest names

Conan, The name has inspired generations, one that resounds through time immemorial. Yet it all began with a handful of stories from Robert E. Howard. In the decades since, there have been feature films, television and comic book series, and numerous spin-off novels. In 1979, Poul Anderson—winner of a staggering eight Hugo and three Nebula Awards—wrote what is regarded as one of the finest adventures in the canon of Conan:

Conan the Rebel.

Conan the barbarian and Belit, his raven-haired beauty, lead a band of savage pirates striving to free Belit’s people from the iron grip of an evil reptile god and its cruel minions. Striking at the heart of tyranny, Conan must break the chains of oppression before eternal darkness claims them all.

Reviews

“Mighty barbarians, savage pirates, freedom, and tyranny are at the heart of this grand adventure.” —Realms of Fantasy

“Fans of Robert E. Howard’s immortal barbarian will rejoice in this handsome reappearance of Anderson’s classic.” —Publishers Weekly

“The late Poul Anderson, SFWA Grand Master and winner of a staggering array of literary awards, was a giant in the field of science fiction. His touch for altering reality and re-creating the universe was unequaled, and Conan the Rebel bears the unmistakable Anderson touch. Clever plot twists and building tension will keep readers on edge until the end.” —The Baton Rouge Advocate
