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, the wolf of the steppes, Khlit the Cossack. Journey
now 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 and skill and a little luck.
"Warriors of the Steppes" is the second in a four-volume set
that collects, for the first time, the complete Cossack stories of
Harold Lamb and presents them in order: every adventure of Khlit
the Cossack and those of his friends, allies, and fellow Cossacks,
many of which have never before appeared between book covers.
Compiled and edited by the Harold Lamb scholar Howard Andrew Jones,
each volume features never-before reprinted essays Lamb wrote about
his stories, informative introductions by popular authors, and a
wealth of rare, exciting, swashbuckling fiction.
This second volume collects all five tales of Khlit's greatest
friend, the valorous Abdul Dost, and Dost's comrade Sir Ralph
Weyand. Life across the Roof of the World is more dangerous than
ever as Khlit teams up with Abdul to thwart a gang of kidnappers,
stamp out a cult of stranglers, save the dazzling Retha, and
reluctantly lead an Afghani rebellion against the forces of the
Mogul. Contained herein are the three never-before-collected
stories of Khlit the Cossack, including the short novel "The Curved
Sword,"
