Conan the Raider
''Conan the Raider'' is a fantasy novel written by Leonard Carpenter featuring Robert E. Howard's seminal sword and sorcery hero Conan the Barbarian. It was first published in paperback by Tor Books in October 1986. It was reprinted by Tor in September 1987.
==Plot==
In the deserts of Shem, Conan tracks a thief who took from him the jewel known as the Star of Khorala. He finds the man, but the gem is missing. He is saved from death by thirst by an encounter with the caravan of Otsgar the Vanir, into which he is welcomed due to his previous acquaintance with Isaiab, a Shemite he had known in Arenjun. Otsgar's party turns out to be a band of tomb robbers, though their expedition proves disppointing, even with Conan's aid. They gain little, and death traps and tomb guardians with the heads of crocodiles combine to dispatch all but Conan, Otsgar, Isaiab, and two others, the Stygian woman Zafriti and the Shemitish rebel Asrafel.
The thieves regroup in Abaddrah, Isaib's home town, a city-state on the River Styx, bordering Stygia. The king, Ebnezub, is having a great tomb constructed for himself on the advice of the exiled Stygian prophet Horaspes. He is likely to need it soon, as his queen Nitokar has been poisoning him. The thieves hope to plunder the new tomb and the ancient catacombs underlying them. Conan investigates the catacombs between flings with Zafriti and Abaddrah's princess Afrit and a spell in captivity during which he must battle an antagonist armed with snakes.
The situation escalates when the villainous Horaspes unleashes his true scheme, and an army of the undead attacks Abaddrah. After much mayhem, Conan comes out of it all with the jewel he sought in the first place.
