This is the 9000 word tale that Scott wrote for inclusion with the deluxe edition of the new Conan Unconquered video game. I'm not a gamer and will have to wait for the piece to be collected somewhere. Disappointing, but this opening snippet I found ensures that the story will be worth the wait... www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sqtcunThat little chunk of prose packs some serious Howardian fire.

Thanks Emerald. I wanna read more, I guess I'll have to be patient. The description of Conan kinda reminds me of good ol' Attila according to Priscus: A luxurious meal, served on silver plate, had been made ready for us and the barbarian guests, but Attila ate nothing but meat on a wooden trencher. In everything else, too, he showed himself temperate - his cup was of wood, while to the guests were given goblets of gold and silver. His dress, too, was quite simple, affecting only to be clean. The sword he carried at his side, the ratchets of his Scythian shoes, the bridle of his horse were not adorned, like those of the other Scythians, with gold or gems or anything costly.
Can't wait till we get the short story collection from Perilous Worlds.

I was lucky enough to read the complete tale a little while ago, and I was very satisfied what Scott came up with. A solid little piece with real Howardian echoes in the prose. Alas, I too am not a gamer, so here’s hoping it’ll be included in a later collection soon!

I am proudest of this one; wish it could be more readily available, sooner. I'm told after a period of exclusivity with the game, Perilous Worlds will release it on its own (or as part of an antho).

Thanks guys. looking forward to buying these collected new tales in a book.

Fiery imagery! It would be great to catch this in print in the future. Great job, Scott.

Is there still a way to get this ebook?

Not that I know of. I don't think they still offer the deluxe edition of the game, which was where the story was. Hopefully Titan will package it for publication with the novellas.

Just to confirm that the deluxe edition is no longer available on Steam but you can get the extra Hero and Belits Fury if you buy the now, NORMAL edition of the game.
