Brak is a golden-haired barbarian from the savage northern wilderness who dreams of reaching the fabled southern city of Khurdisan. Along the way he battles sinister sorcerers, monstrous creatures, ancient evils, and ruthless warriors in a series of thrilling adventures inspired by the classic tradition of Conan and Edgar Rice Burroughs.
EugeneBookStore Summary
John Jakes’ Brak the Barbarian is one of the defining sword-and-sorcery novels of the late 1960s. Fast-paced, episodic, and filled with classic pulp adventure, the novel established Brak as one of fantasy’s memorable barbarian heroes and helped bridge the gap between Robert E. Howard’s Conan stories and the fantasy boom of the 1970s and 1980s.
Collector Notes
This Tower Books paperback is the true first appearance of Brak in novel form and remains one of the most sought-after editions for John Jakes collectors. Early Tower printings are increasingly difficult to locate in collectible condition due to their fragile bindings and heavy readership. Fans of Conan, Lin Carter, Gardner Fox, and Karl Edward Wagner frequently seek this title.
