This book, "Conan the Rebel" was so bad I couldn't finish it. The version of Belit in this horrible book wasn't at all consistent with the character devised by Robert E. Howard in "Queen of the Black Coast".

If you ever again decide to read Conan, please do yourself a favor - read a story written by Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan.

You will note that I do not quote from pastiche writers.
