In Conan The Conqueror, did you enjoy ...

... a relentless hero on a quest for power and vengeance?

The Broken Sword by Poul Anderson

If you enjoyed Conan's determined march to reclaim his throne and the high-stakes struggle that drives Conan The Conqueror, you'll be swept up by Skafloc's desperate quest for the magical sword that will decide the fate of gods and mortals alike in The Broken Sword. Both tales plunge you into worlds where a single, clear goal propels the action, with every battle and betrayal raising the stakes.

... a brutal, far-reaching struggle across kingdoms and empires?

The Black Company by Glen Cook

If the epic wars, sprawling kingdoms, and massive armies in Conan The Conqueror thrilled you, The Black Company will deliver the same grand scale. Follow a mercenary company as they march through shifting alliances, betrayals, and continent-wide conflicts that echo the sweeping, epic battles of Conan's campaign.

... lush, immersive worlds with detailed cultures and histories?

The Worm Ouroboros by E. R. Eddison

If you were captivated by the ancient cities, exotic peoples, and rich mythologies in Conan The Conqueror, you'll love the intricate kingdoms and legendary heroes of The Worm Ouroboros. Eddison's world is filled with elaborate customs, vivid landscapes, and a deep sense of history that will transport you as thoroughly as Howard's Hyborian Age.

... a powerful yet morally complex protagonist?

Elric of Melniboné by Michael Moorcock

If you were drawn to Conan's ruthless pragmatism and willingness to do whatever it takes to seize the throne, Elric's dark, ambiguous choices as emperor and sorcerer will intrigue you. Elric of Melniboné explores the fine line between hero and anti-hero, with a protagonist whose questionable ethics and tragic fate echo Conan's more shadowy qualities.

... fast-paced action and swashbuckling adventure?

The Swords Of Lankhmar by Fritz Leiber

If you relished the breakneck pace and non-stop swordplay of Conan The Conqueror, The Swords of Lankhmar offers the same exhilarating rush. Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser leap from danger to danger in a world of thieves, monsters, and magic, with every chapter packed with action that never lets up.
