Excerpt from the introduction:
"When the first Conan of Cimmeria story appeared in the pages of Weird Tales magazine in December 1932, nothing quite like it had ever before appeared in print. Author Robert E. Howard had been writing stories broadly similar to it for half a decade; but it was with Conan, and the Hyborian Age storyworld in which he was placed, that Howard finally fully doped out the sub-genre that would become known as "sword and sorcery", of which Howard is today considered the founding father.
"Conan's origins date back to an experiment in 1926 titled "The Shadow Kingdom", featuring the character Kull, exile of Atlantis. The idea - Howard's great innovation - was, at its core, historical fiction set in a pre-historical period. That pre-historical period - being, of course, lost in the mists of time - could contain anything Howard might like to include: evil races of sentient snake-things, sorcerers, undead creatures, demons walking upon the earth, anything.
"In other words, Howard was creating a secular mythology."

The performance is good, it took me a bit to get into it, but now I just hear it as Conan's voice.
As for the stories; well, you're reading a review for a Conan audiobook, you know why you're here. Enjoy the high-adventure.
Does what it says on the tin.

The men are manly, the women feminine, the bad guys are dastardly. My brain generated visions of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Conan on new adventures, and the narrator no doubt channeled him.
If you are a “woke” cognitive weakling seeking something to be offended about - by Crom - best run away now snowflake - this is not for you.
Loved every moment of this audiobook.

Classic story from my childhood, doesn't really need a review.
I liked the narrators notes on each story but as a voice actor it was possibly the worst I have ever heard. French accent was cringeworthy, women's voices were atrocious. Would have been substantially better if he had simply read the story instead of trying to voices and accents.
Classic story - Poor performance
