About this product
Product Information
In a time when westerners still spoke publicly about ""the white man's burden"", Harold Lamb was crafting action-packed stories featuring Arabs, Mongols, and Hindus as heroic, sympathetic, and believable characters. Assembled in this volume are four novellas and three short stories gleaned from the work of one of the greatest pulp writers.

"Lamb knew how to write straight-ahead adventure the way Michelangelo knew how to paint."--S. M. Stirling ""Heavy on history but with enough action to give aerodynamic lift, Lamb's prose exemplifies and occasionally transcends the pulp genre.""--Mike Pursley, PopMatters.com ""All of the stories collected in Swords from the Desert are excellent adventure tales brilliantly told, and they offer a wonderful glimpse of the culture and landscape where the Crusades were fought."" --Eva Ulett, Historical Novels Review, "Heavy on history but with enough action to give aerodynamic lift, Lamb's prose exemplifies and occasionally transcends the pulp genre."-Mike Pursley, PopMatters.com, "Lamb knew how to write straight-ahead adventure the way Michelangelo knew how to paint."-S.

His stories...fly forward with the velocity of galloping horsemen. Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan, viewed them as models...Like a burial mound's hidden hoard of treasure, they lay undisturbed, awaiting their rediscovery by Mr. Jones-and now a growing band of admirers."
