Author Dale E. Rippke's work, "The Hyborian Heresies," scales new heights for scholarly research into the world of Hyboria, establishing himself as THE preemminent authority on Robert E. Howard's fictional world. The essays contained in this book are priceless gems of research into a fictional world that serves as the backdrop for none other than the legendary Conan the barbarian.

This book is not just a gold mine - this is the mother lode of all books on Hyboria! This is no pastiche, but rather, a decidedly authoritative exploration that brings the history of Hyboria to life in a way that no other author has.

No true fan of Conan or Hyboria can afford to not add this priceless treasure to their personal collection.

A gargantuan effort that knows no peer, greatly enlightening. This is not so much a book as it is a sound investment.

"The Hyborian Heresies" is a true milestone in Hyborian literary achievement, a marvelous escapade through the history of a world that rivals J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. This is a true classic in every sense of the word, containing a king's ransom in information on Hyboria.

From the Great Cataclysm to the Giant-Kings, Dale's unbridled penchant for details shines through, poking you right in the eye with the sharp stick of knowledge, as he lays it all out before you page after page after page.

Hither came Dale Rippke, and he delivers on every page. Hats off to Ron Hanna and Wildcat Books for publishing this staggering find of a book.
