|
"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."

Lancer went backrupt in 1973, but there
were numerous later printings by Prestige and Ace.
There may have been 20 or more printings total.
There are also U.K. editions published by Sphere.
|
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.
