Robert E. Howard provides weird surprises in a tale of a Spanish opportunist, a lost Aztec city, and a centuries-old mage.

The last survivor of Atlantis is called upon to do battle against a human-eating creature only he can brave to save a race of giants.
This excellent collection of heroic fantasy fiction is a must read for any fan of swords and sorcery.
