senorcalavera avatar reviewed Lord Of Samarcand And Other Adventure Tales Of The Old Orient on
Historical fiction by Robert E. Howard, creator of Conan.
Bleak, violent, and harsh, these stories deal with The Crusades (from both sides), the Mongol's attacks against the West, and the brutal clash of cultures and religions between Moslem and Christian in the harsh deserts and mountains of the Middle East 500-1000 years ago. Highly recommended for the those who like bloody action combined with painstakingly researched history.
