Conan the Cimmerian

It's been years since Conan of Cimmeria last set out on the sort of grim business for which the King of Aquilonia had become famous. Keeping his quest secret from all but his most trusted inner circle, he is soon on the trail of a mythical object of the ancient serpent people – the fabled Green Stone, stolen from the Temple of the Serpent in the days of King Kull.Disguised as a Cimmerian thief – a role he knows well how to play – he must fight his way into a previously unknown cavern of the ancient race of snake men. Here has been stored a hoard of important objects and tokens of power valued by the serpent race, including the gem of which he has need.But he must hurry; if he doesn't return with the stone in time, all he has struggled for will be for nothing and his world will never be the same.This is a short story. Chris spent years playing guitar in and out of bands and was, during that time, more of a voracious reader than a writer. After that last band collapsed, he turned from writing songs to writing stories, eventually turning out a half million-word Barsoom series as a tribute to Edgar Rice Burroughs (currently under contract to ERB Inc.) and a host of self-published short stories and poems.Something inside drives him to create, and so together with writing and playing guitar, he also dabbles in painting (the cover for his novel, The Hunter and the Sorcerer, is one of his).You may find him on his website, www.ChrisLAdamsBizarreTales.com. There, you'll find links, information on available stories, and other things you might find of interest.Chris enjoys talking about favorite authors, writing and collecting books so feel free to shoot him an email from his Contact page.Chris resides in Southern West Virginia with his wife and two children.
