Hyborian stories without Conan?

[garbanzo]

I'm reading through the Arquel of Argos stories collexted in THe Leopard of Poitain by Raul Garcia Capella. They're fun sword and sorcery stories, but what really makes them shine is the fact that they take place in a universe I am very familiar with.

What other stories have been written in this setting that aren't Conan stories? I know of the three Age of Conan trilogies and the ebooks, but have not read them...

Not sure, can't remember any. I think Scott Oden is planning to write a novel on Shevatas, the character from Black Colossus but don't know when it will be released, if it will be released.

Scott's recent comments on Twitter does not bode well. It seems Titan Books don't give a damn and he might move to another project

That's unfortunate. It seems Titan is really struggling to produce other Conan/REH content outside of the main current comic.

Mr Oden plans (was planning?) to write a novel not a short story. That's maybe why Titan does not seem more interested.

On his blog he wrote "“Well, what about Shevatas?” Good question. Honestly? I really don’t think Titan cares either way. Their focus is on primary REH characters like Conan, Solomon Kane, and that ilk. I could be wrong, and if I am then I invite them to contact me and we can talk about where it fits in their publishing schedule. But, the silence from that end has been deafening in its finality."

I think I will write it, regardless. I *really* want to read an S&S novel where the voice is more inspired by Mary Renault than by REH. As blasphemous as that sounds. If Titan passes, then I'll change the names and sell it somewhere else.

[getmagnacarter]

I would say that REH's "Wolves Beyond the Border" counts

also Richard L Tierney and David C Smith did 6 novels of Red Sonja based on Marvel's Hyborean age version of the character
1 The Ring of Ikribu (1981)
2 Demon Night (1982)
3 When Hell Laughs (1982)
4 Endithor's Daughter (1982)
5 Against the Prince of Hell (1982)
6 Star of Doom (1983)

Gotta say, "Lethal Consignment" is just about the most un-Hyborian sounding title imaginable.

Found another. I'll buy the digital and give it a go, but I'm knee-deep in a pile of new Howard books I just got, so it may be a while
