An excellent production having well paced and varied narration. Very enjoyable. One glaring exception is the mispronunciation of the term "devi". The correct pronunciation is "deh-vee" as the vowels are short, as are those in most every other term and proper name in the piece.
This is an amazing story, one of the greatest pieces of fantasy ever written. It is equal parts action, drama, and horror. This is one of Howards crown achievements, along with Tower of the Elephant, Beyond the Black River, and Queen of the Black Coast. All of the original Howard Conan stories are magical, but these four, in my opinion, really define the dark fantasy genre.
I first read Robert E. Howard's Conan when I was 18 years old. The availability of his books were scarce. So I read Marvel's Savage Sword of Conan the Barbarian adaptation of The People of the Black Circle. As I listen to Robert E. Howard's words, they're interspersed with the memory of John Buscema and Alfredo Alcala's wonderful illustrations. Although nothing can compare to my imagination while reading Howard's Conan books. Comic book artists and movie directors fall miserably short while trying to visualize Conan's character.
One of the best stories so far. Thank you. Well narrated. Welcome escapism from the gloomy news of life in Britain that has been blighted by egotism, incompetence, corruption and lack of compassion in British government.
Major governments worldwide exhibit these same maladies. Some are downright murderous tyranny. Barbarism better than Anunnaki Reptilian shapeshifter's civilization; monetary system and religion it's two main tools as they continue to rape and pillage our earth.
Audiobooks''''''''''''''' we need ''The Black Stranger'' if you can get it, also El borak and other desert tales. I had el Borak form audible but lost it on my computer when I sold it and forgot to download. Now I cannot find it to buy on all the internet.. any suggestions? Thanks.
Is this one of the stories that inspired the movies the most? Wizard transforms, items transforms (1982 film) Afghuli chief similair to Conan's companion? (2011 film) Wizards appearing from nowhere like the sand ghosts in 2011?

They try, and face many limitations, whereas one's imagination does not.
