The book has been reprinted a number of times since by various publishers, and has also been translated into German, French, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, and Dutch. It was later gathered together with Conan the Wanderer and Conan the Buccaneer into the omnibus collection The Conan Chronicles 2 (1990).
