Praise for Conan and Robert E. Howard:
Howard's writing seems so highly charged with energy that it nearly gives off sparks.-Stephen King
In Howard's grim and all too realistic view, the barbarians are always at the gate, and once a culture allows itself to grow soft, decadent or simply neglectful, it will be swept away by the primitive and ruthless.-Michael Dirda, The Washington Post
I read books, and I dreamed of Mars, and the planets in those books, and of the Hyborian Age of Robert E. Howard's Conan books...-George R. R. Martin, author of A Game of Thrones
I adore these books. Howard had a gritty, vibrant style-broadsword writing that cut its way to the heart, with heroes who are truly larger than life.-David Gemmell, author of Legend
Those of us who believed in Conan at the right moment in our lives never stop believing. We might not grow up to become him, but we never grow out of him, either.-Stephen Graham Jones, author of The Only Good Indians
Howard was a true storyteller-one of the first, and certainly among the best, you'll find in heroic fantasy.-Charles de Lint, author of The Wild Wood and The Onion Girl
Praise for S.M. Stirling:
Utterly engaging. This is unquestionably Steve Stirling's best work to date, a page-turner that is certain to win the author legions of new readers and fans.-George R. R. Martin on Island in the Sea of Time
Stirling combines complex, believable characters, meticulous research, and a fascinating setup to produce a book you won't want to-and won't be able to-put down. An outstanding piece of work.-Harry Turtledove on Island in the Sea of Time
The novel's dual themes-myth and technology-should appeal to both fantasy and hard SF readers as well as to techno-thriller fans.-Publishers Weekly on Dies the Fire
Fans of apocalyptical thrillers like Stephen King's The Stand will find Dies the Fire absolutely riveting...a fantastic epic work.-Midwest Book Review
[A] richly realized story of swordplay and intrigue.-Entertainment Weekly on the novels of The Change
Richly detailed...His descriptions of beauty and horror, giv[e] this work a broad emotional palette.-Publishers Weekly on the New York Times bestseller The Sea Peoples
