A master of driving pace, exotic setting, and complex plotting,
Harold Lamb was one of Robert E. Howard's favorite writers. Here at
last is every pulse-pounding, action-packed story of Lamb's
greatest hero, Khlit the Cossack, the “wolf of the steppes.”
Journey with the unsung grandfather of sword and sorcery in search
of ancient tombs, gleaming treasure, and thrilling
landscapes. Match wits with deadly swordsmen, scheming
priests, and evil cults. Rescue lovely damsels, ride with bold
comrades, and hazard everything on your brains, skill, and a little
luck. This four-volume set collects for the first time the complete
Cossack stories of Harold Lamb: every adventure of Khlit the
Cossack and those of his friends, allies, and fellow Cossacks, many
of which have never appeared between book covers. Compiled and
edited by the Harold Lamb scholar Howard Andrew Jones, each volume
features essays Lamb wrote about his stories, an informative
introduction by a popular author, and a wealth of rare, exciting,
swashbuckling fiction. In this third volume, the wily old Cossack
Khlit may have aged but he's lost none of his guile. He shepherds
his dashing grandson Kirdy into one adventure after another,
finally uniting with his allies Ayub and Demid in the climactic
story White Falcon—out of print since the 1920s. Here too are the
exploits of Ayub and Demid, risking all to safeguard the perilous
Russian border from marauding Turks, Tatars, and even bloodthirsty
Russian nobles.
