Query: Well Written Pulp Fantasy

I'm of two minds about this book. It is very well written, but dated (I kept seeing the old Conan type movies of the 1970s in my head), however, it was the ending that made me hurl the book across the room into the library donation box.On the one hand it is the 70s pulp fantasy you expect from the lurid cover; desert wastelands, nomads, sword fights, chariot races, rape, murder, erotic scenes, occasional big lizards. On the other hand, the main character wanders around for a very (very) long time without any plot resolution (today this would be published as 3 separate novels), the rape/sex scenes are downright insulting to modern women, and the plot makes a very abrupt, unsatisfying twist a mere 30 pages from the end.If you likeThe Complete Chronicles of Conan, you will probably love this.
