In the fables, mysterious land of Vendhya, Conan seeks an antidote to the unknown poison that threatens his life. Entangled in the intrigues of Karim Singh, advisor to the King of Vendhya, pursued by the voluptuous noblewoman Vyndra, threatened by the evil mage Naipal, Conan has yet to conquer the most terrifying adversaries of his life--the Sivani, demon-guardians of the ancient tombs of Vendhyan kings.

-----------Absolute darkness was pushed back rom the night-swathed encampment by hundreds of campfires scattered among a thousand tents. Many of those tents glowed with the light of lamps within, casting moving, mysterious shadows on walls, whether silk or cotton, made less than opaque. The thrum of citherns floated in the air, and the smell of cinnamon and saffron from meals not long consumed.

wedged between 2 picnic tables

Alright, I heard about this site awhile back. I was walking in a park and noticed a book on a picnic table and the first thought was 'I wonder if was a book that people hide and people find'. As I came closer to the book I first noticed 'This book was left for you' and then I knew it was what I heard about. And it was a Conan book!!! I love Conan!! This is very cool, I will read this starting next month on my vacation. I have a 13 hour flight so this will come in handy. I may drop it off in HI while Im there.
