In several way, King Kane is a more darker character than Conan, Howard's most celebrated fantasy hero. Kane makes not share the barbarian's careless and carefree vitality; he is driven by a darker force inside of him, and, several from Conan, he has an agenda: to "right all wrongs, protect all weaker things, revenge all crimes against right and justice." The earth in which Kane's adventures are set is more closer to our own than Conan's, but it is equally filled with excitement, mystery and magic. This edition contains all nine completed stories, two major fragments, and four poems; it presents the un-bowdlerized innovational versions of Howard's texts.
