There is also a Books for the Blind audiobook of the collection of stories Conan the Swordsman<\/a><\/em> (1978). This collection of briskly-plotted gap-fillers for the Conan chronology is from Nyberg \/ Lin Carter \/ de Camp. Their stories successfully mimic Howard, only lacking some of the small telling details that he carefully wove into his stories. Their book has, in order:<\/p>\n

“The People of the Summit” (after “Rogues in the House”) (begins at 1 hour 12 minutes into the book reading)
\n“Shadows in the Dark” (after “Black Colossus”)
\n“The Star of Khorala” (after “Shadows in Zamboula”)
\n“The Gem in the Tower” (between “The People of the Black Circle” and “The Pool of the Black One”)
\n“The Ivory Goddess” (before “Beyond the Black River”)
\n“Moon of Blood” (after “Beyond the Black River”)<\/p>\n

I see there’s also a Books for the Blind audiobook of the Carter \/ de Camp Conan the Liberator<\/em>, but I’ve left that off my page. It does fit a big gap in the Howard chronology, telling of how Conan became a King, but is not very well reviewed. While painted on a suitably wide canvas, it’s apparently more of a medieval military novel in which the depiction of Conan is sparse and a bit iffy in terms of his characterisation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
