John Jakes
Had not heard of Brak the Barbarian, by John Jakes and picked up several used books in the series this weekend. I was pleasantly surprised that the first book isn't that bad. Obviously a Conan like figure, Brak is thrust into the wiles of civilization as he travels to his destination of a gleaming golden city called Khurdisan. Not REH but fun none the less.

Because of modern associations I have a picture in my mind's eye of the Space Ghost sidekick Brak treading the jeweled thrones of the earth under his sandled feet.
