"Hawks Over Egypt" was rewritten
by L. Sprague de Camp into a Conan story.
|
"The Road of the Eagles" is an
REH story and title for which two drafts (early and final) presently
exist.
L. Sprague de Camp found the final draft and rewrote
it as "Conan, Man of Destiny," then later published it as "The Road of
the Eagles."
|
The second printing added illustrations according
to Locus #222 (June 1979).

|
Lancer went backrupt in
1973, but the Lancer Conan titles returned to bookstores in 1977.
The publisher (Ace Books) claimed to be only distributing the series.
The books were purportedly published by Prestige Books.
However, there was no editorial address or contact information for Prestige
in the books.
|
The Prestige books are known to
exist in at least two states.
Some have "DISTRIBUTED BY ACE BOOKS" on the cover, title and copyright
pages.
Prestige Books is listed as the publisher only on the title page.
Some have "ACE" on the cover and are stamped with "Prestige" on
the copyright page.

The Conan series continued up to the
late 1980's and is the basis for numerous licensed as well as bootleg non-English
editions. The Conan series is by far the most reproduced REH series in
the world. It is quite possible that over one million copies of this book
are in print.
