About this listen

 In this thrilling adventure, Conan the Barbarian is enlisted by a civilized nation to aid in their campaign to seize lands from the fierce Pict tribes. Unbeknownst to him, the Picts are far from pleased with this encroachment. As ancient gods and legendary beasts are summoned by the powerful Pict witches to defend their homeland, Conan finds himself caught in a deadly struggle against savage hordes that include saber-toothed tigers, colossal venomous snakes, and a fearsome demon from another dimension intent on his destruction. Amidst the chaos, the brave dog Slasher emerges as a hero, battling valiantly to buy Conan time, earning the warriors respect and a vow that seven Pict heads will roll in his honor. (Summary by Phil Chenevert)
