The Grand Cham

Summary: At last!
Review: After some sixty to eighty years after they were first printed in the pages of the fabled pulp magazine "Adventure," these stirring tales by Harold Lamb of swordplay and strife in the wildest parts of medieval Asia are being re-issued. It has been too long. Congrats to the publisher for doing this. Now if we can only get the Khlit/Kirdy novels - White Falcon, Kirdy: the Way Out of the World and the Mighty Manslayer - out in print! Harold Lamb was one of the great early masters of historical fiction, his best single work is the novel "Durandal: A Crusader with the Horde" (Grant Books has printed part of this novel in two deluxe volumes - "Durandal" and "Sea of the Ravens," without completing the set). His "historical" non-fiction - Babur the Tiger, Nur Mahal, Omar Khayyam - is really good too!
