    What a great plot element having the ju ju staff turn out to be the Staff of Moses and Solomon handed down to them from the followers of Basti in Egypt. Howard is a master at weaving historical elements into his fiction that makes it more intriguing.

    When we look at The Robert E Howard stories we see it is early days, in terms of pure REH having thrown off the legacy of L Sprague de Camp. I have read and listened to REH for some years now and also seen some online pals set up sites (mainly putting out Librivox and various other audios-Including HPL and many other Pulp era authors, who are enjoying a resurgence) Anyway, the point is that you are putting out original material (It is always a joy to hear a new slant on a much-loved story-having exhausted all others) and it is early days and as with others their sites are now getting many more subs and hits and one day you will look back and remember the start (when you have many more subs and you are ahead in doing what you want in professional terms on as well as off the net etc).
    I will be bragging as well! ''Oh yeah, I've been with these guys from day one!'' (Hoho)
    The beauty of Audiobooks are for example; I run a small cottage industry and I can sit working on my crafts whilst listening to your plays/stories.
    So best wishes JC

    Great story.The audio needs a tweak, but that is down to your having moved studio and probabaly been stressed at not having put out any stuff for a bit, teething probs etc.-I know that the artist is his greatest whip. we are all very gratefull for the much needed new Robert E H material especially in Scots or dare I say Pictish! (much loved by REH).
    So I am looking forward and wish you guys the best in your new home, Thanks.

      Maybe you should set up a voluntary fund, it is the way forward, artists of many descriptions are passionate about their work and there are people who are willing to help.
      Like I buy a book-I know it is a dillema I suppose-but...we as listeners have a choice, it aint like it is compulsory. ppl need support. I have donated to various sites that I like(Not huge amounts) and then going back to them I see they are doing well and expanding and more ppl are looking in and I am happy, I feel a part of it.
      Anyway... just listend to your cororuc story, excellent!! and am looking forward to your next release.Thanks.

      We've had a check and it doesn't see to be happening on our end and no one else has spotted it. So we figure it is either...
      A)a child/famildy-friendly setting on RUclips that you should be able to switch off
      or
      B)a state/country setting based on the IP address you're logging in from (so a VPN or the like should be able to get rid of it)

    Makes no sense to praize the story, one of my most favorite. In particular for the reference to the magical rod of "Suleiman ibn Daud".The reading is wonderful... Sorry for politics. my Afro-American brothers and sisters and Muslim brothers and sisters in general, but practically all African slaves were delivered to the ocean shores by Arab slave-hunters and sold to the white slavers waitng for the delivery. And of 12 million African slaves transported across the Atlantic during 2 centuries of the trans-Atllantic slave trade only half a million arrived in the 13 North American colonies of the United Kingdom. The rest ended up in Spanish and Portuguese colonies. Just look at the racial composition of the population of Brazil where slavery was abolished only in 1888.
