Totally! Who wouldn't go for all that hair and untamed lust for pleasure?Did less "civilized" equal sexier in historical fiction of a certain vintage?

Robert E. Howard
[quote=""annis""]I love Cohen the Barbarian and the Silver Horde! Interesting Times is one of my favourite TP novels.
Cealwyn, btw, is finding life much more peaceful since his escape from Carthage. Instead of the sexually voracious Tiratha, he now only has pirates, Roman press-gangs, the siege of Syracuse and the frustratingly virtuous Valeria to deal with--[/quote]
I love most of Howard's novels..."The King of Pulp Fiction" .....He was good friends with H.P. Lovecraft....Lovecraft nicked named REH "Two Gun Bob"....must dig up some of novels.....Such a brilliant and complex author.....Has a interesting website.....BTW not a fan of the Conan Films....I think Hollywood needs to do a redux or take on some of Howard's other great characters.....

Chuck,
If you havent read it, the "lord of Samarcand" collects all of REHs best crusader stories, which are far and away his best word (much better than his conan stuff, IMO)
there is also a good collection of his bran mak morn stories which feature the picts and romans. a bit of sorcery invoved there makes them more fantasy. Worms of the earth is a classic revenge gone too far tale.

Wow, I know I'm late to this thread, but I'm so excited about this list...I immediately put half of the books on my wish list! I love historical accuracy with a good helping of wayward human drama. Kate Quinn--LOVED your Mistress of Rome, btw.
Anyone know of any yarns featuring Scythian or Sarmatian characters?

Can't think of any which fit into the SSS&S category, but Gillian Bradshaw's Island of Ghosts is an old favourite of mine, and features Sarmatian horsemen co-opted as auxiliaries in Roman Britain. Christian Cameron's Tyrant novels, especially the first two, Tyrant and Tyrant: Storm of Arrows strongly feature Scythians during the time of Alexander the Great.
