He might have been a faithful unknown warrior of mine, he might have been an outlaw. I only know that he was mine; the first scents he knew were the scents of the heather; the first light he saw was the sunrise on the Pictish hills. He belonged to me, not to Rome. If punishment was just, then none but me should have dealt it. If he were to be tried, none but me should have been his judge. The same blood flowed in our veins; the same fire maddened our brains; in infancy we listened to the same old tales, and in youth we sang the same old songs. He was bound to my heartstrings, as every man and every woman and every child of Pictland is bound. It was mine to protect him; now it is mine to avenge him.""But in the name of the gods, Bran," expostulated the wizard, "take your vengeance in another way! Return to the heather--mass your warriors--join with Cormac and his Gaels, and spread a sea of blood and flame the length of the great Wall!"Robert Ervin Howard (January 22, 1906 - June 11, 1936) was an American author who wrote pulp fiction in a diverse range of genres. He is well known for his character Conan the Barbarian and is regarded as the father of the sword and sorcery subgenre.Howard was born and raised in the state of Texas. He spent most of his life in the town of Cross Plains with some time spent in nearby Brownwood.

Buchbeschreibung |
Robert E. Howard, Autor der weltbekannten CONAN-Serie, hatte schon in jungen Jahren eine besondere Vorliebe für die Pikten entwickelt, die legendären Ureinwohner Britanniens, von denen die Geschichte nicht viel zu berichten weiß. Dieser Vorliebe für das wilde, kriegerische Volk, das selbst die Römer unter Kaiser Hadrian nicht bezwingen konnten, verdanken wir Howards Bran-Mak-Morn-Erzählungen - phantastische Stories voller Kampt, Wildheit und düsterer Magie, die um das Jahr 200 spielen und die sich um Bran Mak Morn, den tapfersten und klügsten aller Pikten-Herrscher ranken. Das verschwundene Volk - Ein Brite in den Händen der Pikten; Die im Dunkeln wohnen - Legionäre Roms im Kampf auf Leben und Tod; Herrscher der Nacht - Ein Geist kehrt zurück; Fragment - Das Duell in der Einsamkeit; Würmer der Erde - Mächte der Dunkelheit am Werk (Klappentext)
