Kings of Unchristian Lands

by Robert E. Howard

Kings of Unchristian Lands features the great Conan the Barbarian, as well as lesser-known but no less captivating figures such as Kull of Atlantis, El Borak, and Solomon Kane. These sword and sorcery masterpieces will transport you to the dream-like (some say nightmare-like) worlds of Atlantis and Hyperborea, back onto the high-seas and the inner-depths of the African continent, and finally to the “Great Game” battlefields on the high, rugged plains of the Orient.

Featuring:

"The Shadow Kingdom"
"The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune"
"Cimmera"
"The Phoenix on the Sword"
"The Scarlet Citadel"
"Lord of Samarcand"

About the author

Robert Ervin Howard was an American pulp writer of fantasy, horror, historical adventure, boxing, western, and detective fiction. Howard wrote "over three-hundred stories and seven-hundred poems of raw power and unbridled emotion" and is especially noted for his memorable depictions of "a sombre universe of swashbuckling adventure and darkling horror."

He is well known for having created—in the pages of the legendary Depression-era pulp magazine Weird Tales—the character Conan the Cimmerian, a.k.a. Conan the Barbarian, a literary icon whose pop-culture imprint can only be compared to such icons as Tarzan of the Apes, Count Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond.
