Review title: Blown within first 5 pages
Product review: Life-long Conan fan that he is, Turtledove uses the Lion emblem on the Aquilonian flag/banner... this is the emblem Conan uses when he becomes king of Aquilonia about 30-40 years after the events of this tale. The pennant ought to have shown a dragon which any one who has read a Conan story in which Aquilonia is mentioned, even in passing, would know.There are at least 13 more inconsistencies (some of them glaring) in the remainder of the work. Turledove does himself and the Hyborian age a great injury by allowing this to have been published, anyone who has read any of the pre-1990 Conan stories would do better to invest their money in an ant-farm than purchase this book.
