61-Shadows in Zamboula

About this book

Step into the teeming, many-coloured streets of Zamboula, the exotic desert city where Stygian ruins, Turanian rulers and hybrid crowds crowd shoulder to shoulder. Conan the Cimmerian, a giant barbarian wanderer with a broadsword at his hip and little else to his name, has come to town after long months among the desert Zuagirs. A frightened nomad begs him to stay away from the tavern of Aram Baksh. Travellers who sleep beneath that roof are said to vanish without trace, and charred human bones turn up in a pit hidden in a palm grove at the desert's edge. Is the innkeeper a demon, a murderer, or merely the target of idle rumour? Conan, with his usual contempt for warnings, has already paid for his room and means to use it. Shadows in Zamboula is one of Robert E. Howard's classic sword-and-sorcery tales from the Hyborian Age. It delivers pulp adventure at full speed: vivid, sun-baked scenery, sinister intrigue, creeping dread and fierce, fast-moving action. It is a great pick for fans of Conan, dark fantasy and old-school heroic fiction, and works as a standalone story as well as part of the chronological Conan saga.
