Query: Great historically fiction

Do not overlook this collection. Unlike the Conan or Kull stories there are no fantasy elements in these stories. The settings are very historically accurate. Most of the main characters have some deep flaw or weakness from pride, to anger, to alcoholism, to lack of faith in anything. They war in torn and broken lands but somehow REH allows a glimmer of greatness /hope/ good luck to touch them or their world. Alot of times that is not the case. Worth the time to read just for the entries "The Lion of Tiberias", and "the Sowers of Thunder". "The Road of Azrael" stands with "Beyond the Black River" and "By This Ax I Rule" as REH at his best. Yes, there are some weaker inclusions aka "The Road of the Eagles" and "Gates of Empire". Also unlike the Del Rey editions there is NO ART WORK. All REH and historical fiction fans need to read this collection.
