Conan: Black Starlight

Praise for CONAN AND THE EMERALD LOTUS:


Straight-ahead non-stop action and exotic pulp-flavored fun… Hocking infuses the supporting characters with humanity and believability, and even imparts a degree of pathos to the villains—Adventures of Sword & Sorcery magazine


Praise for Conan and Robert E. Howard:


Howard’s writing seems so highly charged with energy that it nearly gives off sparks.—Stephen King


In Howard’s grim and all too realistic view, the barbarians are always at the gate, and once a culture allows itself to grow soft, decadent or simply neglectful, it will be swept away by the primitive and ruthless.—Michael Dirda, The Washington Post


I read books, and I dreamed of Mars, and the planets in those books, and of the Hyborian Age of Robert E. Howard’s Conan books…—George R. R. Martin, author of A Game of Thrones


Those of us who believed in Conan at the right moment in our lives never stop believing. We might not grow up to become him, but we never grow out of him, either.—Stephen Graham Jones, author of The Only Good Indians
