A new version of Queen of the Black Coast from Spain. By Robert E. Howard and Rodolfo Martinez.
I think Martinez expands on the yarn, with the the original beginning and end by REH, sounds interesting.
La Canción de Bêlit (Song of Bêlit)
Description (thanks to google translate)
Discover the most fascinating adventure of the barbarian hero par excellence.
While traveling as a passenger aboard the Argus, under the merchant of Messantia, Conan suffers the attack of the Tigress, the ship of the pirate Bêlit. During the confrontation, the Cimmerian is willing to sell his life dearly, but when the situation seems more desperate, Bêlit becomes infatuated with the barbarian and turns him into his lover.
This is how "The Queen of the Black Coast" starts, by Robert E. Howard. Using that story as a starting point, Rodolfo Martínez reconstructs the three years that Conan and Bêlit spent together, three years of thrilling adventures, blood and slaughter, revenge and prophecy fulfilled, enemies hidden in the shadows and unforeseen allies, cunning schemes and treacherous plans, but also of love and confidences, of pain, loss and longing.
Martinez follows the story to its natural conclusion, where it again links to the original story of Howard, creating a fascinating adventure, a love song for the adventure novel and popular narrative.
From the Black Coast to Stygia, from the hidden archipelago of Nakanda Wazuri to the distant Turán, from Messantia to the poisonous river Zarjiba in which the story will come to an end; In La Canción de Bêlit, Martínez expertly traces the Hypo Age created by Howard and narrates what is perhaps the most fascinating adventure of Conan.
