CONAN CITY OF THE DEAD

Two complete novels in one very thick book, with illustration. Author John C. Hocking continues his new prose sagas of the Cimmerian. In the first novel, Conan and the Emerald Lotus, the seeds of a deadly, addictive plant grant sorcerers immense power, but turn its users into inhuman killers. In the exclusive, new here, long-awaited sequel Conan and the Living Plague, a Shemite wizard unleashes a hideous monster on the city of Dulcine. Hired to loot the city of its treasures, Conan and his fellows in the mercenary troop find themselves trapped in the depths of the city’s keep. Fully authorized by the Howard estate. To escape, they must defeat the creature, its plague-wracked undead followers, then face Lovecraftian horrors beyond mortal comprehension! What's not to like? Emerald Lotus has been highly praised: "Sharp prose, tight plotting, smart dialogue, and driving action scenes, leveraged with fantastic world building..." - Howard Andrew Jones (The Desert of Souls, Lord of a Shattered Land) "...captures the spirit of the original Robert E. Hward Conan Tales...moody, briskly paced, and thoroughly fun..." - S. Craig Zahler, Director "His Conan shows why we fell in love with the character in the first place. John does REH and the entire genre proud." - Douglas Draa, Editor of Weirdbook and Startling Stories
