Conan el bucanero

Lin Carter portrays Conan in a seafaring role that feels both fresh and fitting. I'm curious what influenced this adventurous direction for the character.

The mix of genres kept me on my toes, but I wondered if it was intentional to create a unique tone or just a product of the era's style.

Some parts felt fast-paced while others slowed down — was this balance deliberate to build tension or more a reflection of the writing style?
