SYNOPSIS
In "The Pool of the Black One," Robert E. Howard whisks readers into a swashbuckling adventure steeped in high-seas escapades and dark sorcery. The tale follows the exploits of Conan the Cimmerian, a fierce warrior and adventurer, as he embarks on a treacherous voyage aboard the Wastrel, a pirate ship crewed by ruthless buccaneers.
Their quest leads them to an enigmatic island, rumored to harbor a mystical pool that bestows eternal youth. However, the island holds more than just the promise of immortality. Conan finds himself entangled in a web of deceit, facing perilous foes and dark magic as he navigates the deadly secrets lurking within the island's mysterious depths.
THE FIRST PAGE
Sancha, once of Kordava, yawned daintily, stretched her supple limbs luxuriously, and composed herself more comfortably on the ermine-fringed silk spread on the carack's poop-deck. That the crew watched her with burning interest from waist and forecastle she was lazily aware, just as she was also aware that her short silk kirtle veiled little of her voluptuous contours from their eager eyes. Wherefore she smiled insolently and prepared to snatch a few more winks before the sun, which was just thrusting his golden disk above the ocean, should dazzle her eyes.
But at that instant a sound reached her ears unlike the creaking of timbers, thrum of cordage and lap of waves. She sat up, her gaze fixed on the rail, over which, to her amazement, a dripping figure clambered. Her dark eyes opened wide, her red lips parted in an O of surprize. The intruder was a stranger to her. Water ran in rivulets from his great shoulders and down his heavy arms. His single garment-a pair of bright crimson silk breeks-was soaking wet, as was his broad gold-buckled girdle and the sheathed sword it supported. As he stood at the rail, the rising sun etched him like a great bronze statue. He ran his fingers through his streaming black mane, and his blue eyes lit as they rested on the girl.
"Who are you?" she demanded. "Whence did you come?"
He made a gesture toward the sea that took in a whole quarter of the compass, while his eyes did not leave her supple figure.
"Are you a merman, that you rise up out of the sea?" she asked, confused by the candor of his gaze, though she was accustomed to admiration.
Before he could reply, a quick step sounded on the boards, and the master of the carack was glaring at the stranger, fingers twitching at sword-hilt.
"Who the devil are you, sirrah?" this one demanded in no friendly tone.
"I am Conan," the other answered imperturbably. Sancha pricked up her ears anew; she had never heard Zingaran spoken with such an accent as the stranger spoke it.
"And how did you get aboard my ship?" The voice grated with suspicion.
"I swam."
"Swam!" exclaimed the master angrily. "Dog, would you jest with me? We are far beyond sight of land. Whence do you come?"
Conan pointed with a muscular brown arm toward the east, banded in dazzling gold by the lifting sun.
"I came from the Islands."
"Oh!" The other regarded him with increased interest. Black brows drew down over scowling eyes, and the thin lip lifted unpleasantly.

These are a lot of fun. Some repeated odd choices on how words are pronounced, but very energetic and lively presentation of the tales all the same.
Loved the books
played these as a list as i went to sleep and had amazing dreams, i love these books
That's a great idea!
I read all of these in my teens better than any comic books. Also the shadow and Doc Savage
The Doc was, pretty cool.
Thank you! :)
Awesome
Thanks
Conan is. New to me but I'm enjoying ur work n reading very much thanks
curiosity piqued.
The kind of bodily bemolding depicted upon the screen does not result from work and warfaring. It comes only from bodily sculpting, which is a feminine activity applied in a masculine way.
“Bodily etching”?
whos this narrator? ive heard em before on the lord of the rings channels
He can not be baited!
I wish Conan would take care of Biden and the democrats!!!
He would have taken Trumps head. Conan was no fascist.
Girls, girls, conan would destroy them both! Because he is a true warrior and they both are shameless shit bags that have no business running a McDonald's let alone the strongest nation on earth. If you think one of them is better than the other at this point... you need to reevaluate what real leadership looks like. Ask conan, he'll tell you. By CROM this man speaks true! That's what he'd say.
Trump has the popularity of the people behind him. He rode to power the same way Conan did, on the shoulders of the common folk snd AGAINST the entrenched powers-that-be. The true fascists are the Democratic Party, which have only the power of the elites and of misguided fools and useful idiots like you.
