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 the concluding volume, gallop into adventure with Khlit
and Kirdy for their final challenge in "The Wolf Master," out of
print since 1933. Then, delve into a treasure trove of stories
gleaned from rare magazines: an account of a desperate mission for
Khlit's old friend Ayub; three tales of the valorous Koum and the
champion swordsman Gurka; two daring ventures by Stenka Razin, the
Robin Hood of the steppes; five short stories of Uncle Yarak, a
Cossack fighting in World War II; and more than a half dozen other
swashbuckling tales from the steppes.
