 Auch heute noch gibt es zahlreiche Comics, Novellen und Kurzgeschichten über Conan. Jeff Mariotte, Autor solcher Novellen hat nun drei neue Werke als Trilogie veröffentlicht, welche sich Age of Conan: Marauders nennt. Funcom hatte die Gelegenheit um mit ihm über Age of Conan zu sprechen. Er sagt, dass es ihm eine Ehre ist noch offene Geschichten von Robert E. Howard fortzusetzen, welche zu seinen Lebzeiten nicht erschienen sind. Seine neue Trilogie handelt von drei Charakteren, zwei Aquiloniern und einem Pict, welche sich alle in der selben Situation befinden und sich gegen die dunkle sowie brutale hyborianische Welt bewähren müssen. Das erste Buch Ghost of the Wall wurde bereits veröffentlicht, die nächsten beiden, Winds of the Wild See und Dawn of the Ice Bear, stehen ab Ende März in den Läden.
"Age of Conan is more than just a game—it’s a multi-pronged effort by Conan Properties International and some talented creative partners to expand upon parts of Robert E. Howard’s Hyborian Age that Howard, during his too-brief career, didn’t have a chance to thoroughly explore. To be asked by CPI and Ace Books to become part of that process, by writing the first-ever young adult novels set in the Hyborian world, is an honor and a privilege for a long-time REH fan like me.
My trilogy is called Age of Conan: Marauders, and involves three young characters, two Aquilonians and a Pict, who find themselves thrown together by circumstance and must pit themselves against the dark and brutal Hyborian world. The first book, Ghost of the Wall, has just been released by Ace, with the next two scheduled for late March (Winds of the Wild Sea) and late May (Dawn of the Ice Bear).
On my website I wrote an essay about what Conan and the works of Robert E. Howard have meant to my life. You can find that essay here: Conan and Me . I also supplemented the essay with posts on my blog that expanded upon some of the topics it touched on. Those posts start here , and continue for about the next week. I post occasionally about Conan and REH-related things, so you may want to check back occasionally.
My great thanks to Funcom for giving me the opportunity to spread the word to Conan fans worldwide. We all love spending time in the Hyborian world, and Funcom’s new game will be an amazing way to make the experience real! "
