Lord of Samarcand: An Adventure, Post-1930, Pulp Classic By Robert E. Howard! AAA+++

In The Lord of Samarcand we are presented with all of Robert E. Howard's historical tales of the Orient. Howard was drawn to this form by his interest in history, but also through his admiration for the historical and adventure works of Harold Lamb (1892-1962), an author who, unlike Howard, had been widely published in the prestigious pulp magazine Adventure. The Lord of Samarcand includes Howard's short summary of Lamb's The Wolf Chaser. As with the other volumes of this series the editor has, whenever possible returned to the original typescripts to obtain the texts presented here.
