S.M. Stirling wrote a Conan novel! Blood of the Serpent, and it’s a page-turner. Stirling takes the world seriously without slavishly worshipping it, which is sometimes a problem for people trying to work in the style of the pulp classics. I heartily recommend it.

Been looking forward to this one: CONAN: BLOOD OF THE SERPENT is Steve Stirling’s latest, and it’s finally out. Obviously, it’s a Conan story: it has Valeria in it, and the publisher included “Red Nails” in the book so you can read it next. I’ve read far enough into it already that I figure I’m going to highly enjoy the rest.
CONAN: BLOOD OF THE SERPENT was written by SM Stirling, so naturally I’ll be pre-ordering it on March 25th. It seems like a reasonable response, given that I buy Stirling* in hardback and have a fondness for Conan novels**. Details on the book itself are light, but I assume there’ll be Conan, at least one serpent, and blood. That seems like… a reasonable foundation to build upon, yes?
CONAN: BLOOD OF THE SERPENT will be published in October.
