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.
"Wolf of the Steppes" is the first of 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.
In this first volume, Khlit infiltrates a hidden fortress of
assassins, tracks down the tomb of Genghis Khan, flees the
vengeance of a dead emperor, leads the Mongol horde against
impossible odds, accompanies the stunning Mogul queen safely
through the land of her enemies, and much more. This is the stuff
of grand adventure, from the pen of an American Dumas.
