CONAN: BLOOD OF THE SERPENT The All-New Chronicles of the World’s Greatest Barbarian Hero
By S. M. Stirling Description
Conan the Barbarian, the world’s most famous fantasy hero, returns in an all-new novel tied directly to the famous works by his legendary creator, Robert E. Howard.
Mercenary, thief, soldier, usurper, Conan has faced conquering armies, wicked sorcerers, and monstrous creatures, wielding a savage sword that cuts a bloody swath across the Hyborian Age. In this all-new novel tying directly into Howard’s definitive canon, Conan is a paid mercenary in a remote Stygian town. There he meets Valeria of the Red Brotherhood, a brilliant swordswoman whose skills lead him to recruit her to the mercenary group. Her take-no-prisoners approach runs afoul of the corrupt politics, and a price lands on Valeria’s head. Seeking to survive, she and Conan become entangled in the vengeful schemes of a priest of Set, the serpent god.
A superstar of novels, short fiction, comics, video games, films, and an upcoming Netflix series, his adventures have inspired many of the most popular authors of the 20th and 21st centuries. This is the first in a series of brand-new, officially licensed standalone adventures, with spot illustrations throughout and a bonus: the original “Red Nails” short story by Robert E. Howard himself.Specifications: ISBN: 9781803361833 Format: Hardback Pages: 540 Published: 18 October 2022 (US) 18 October 2022 (UK) Series: Conan Dimension: 8.00" x 5.13" (US) 198mm x 130mm (UK) US/Canada $24.95 UK/Rest of World £17.99 Source: titanbooks.com/71123-conan-blood-of-the-serpent/ This'll be released in October and we still have no cover! A little unusual, I think. especially considering there's only a couple of months till the release date.

540 pages?, IMO, all the Conan pastiche's I have read suffer from being over 200 pages.........

So the continuity minded sort should read CONAN OF THE RED BROTHERHOOD -> BLOOD OF THE SERPENT ->"Red Nails" -> CONAN AND THE GODS OF THE MOUNTAIN (It sounds like the new book could fit between Conan of the Red Brotherhood and Red Nails, but I haven't read Conan of the Red Brotherhood to see how that ends... if he's still in the Red Brotherhood, then it could work. Just a random pic of Conan and Valeria

I actually like it. The interior illustrations by Roberto De La Torre probably helps.

I do not like the Arnold '82 sword! Whhhhyyyyyy?
'Robert E. Howard's Conan'? Or Oliver Stone and Milius' Conan?
Gotta appeal to all fans, I get it. And Malmberg always, always, always posts stuff with Arnold. Heck, there are fans of Conan that probably only know Arnold Conan.
