One of Harold Lamb's last uncollected works, this short novel -- a thrilling adventure spanning Turkey and Afghanistan, set in the time of the Crusades -- offers a glimpse into a time of barbarism and heroicism, and Christians and Muslims locked in war and kingdoms were won -- and lost -- on the battlefield. Features a new introduction by Lamb-scholar Howard Jones.

At last!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Grand Cham (Hardcover)
After some sixty to eighty years after they were first printed in the pages of the fabled pulp magazine "Adventure," these stirring tales by Harold Lamb of swordplay and strife in the wildest parts of medieval Asia are being re-issued. It has been too long. Congrats to the publisher for doing this. Now if we can only get the Khlit/Kirdy novels - White Falcon, Kirdy: the Way Out of the World and the Mighty Manslayer - out in print! Harold Lamb was one of the great early masters of historical fiction, his best single work is the novel "Durandal: A Crusader with the Horde" (Grant Books has printed part of this novel in two deluxe volumes - "Durandal" and "Sea of the Ravens," without completing the set). His "historical" non-fiction - Babur the Tiger, Nur Mahal, Omar Khayyam - is really good too!

This review is from: The Grand Cham (Paperback)
This book is produced one copy at a time by print on demand. There are occasionally production glitches, such as the review that says another book begins at page 108. This is not typical; it's one defective book, not all copies of this title.
The book may be exchanged at any time for a new copy at the printer's expense. Contact the publisher, Wildside Press, to arrange it.
