It's 1608 and "we were three men with two horses and two swords. We were outcasts in the thickets of the foothills of Badakshan, under the peaks of the Roof Of the World (the Himalayan mountains). We had earned the wrath of the Mogul Of India and there were two thousand riders searching for us."

There's one other at that site also http://pulpgen.com/pulp/downloads/list_by_author.php?page=14 .
Scroll on down both pages for them.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one obscessed with Pulpgen. Love those old Pulps, especially when they are from ADVENTURE.

Thanks for the link. That's a tale of Abdul Dost. There are four short stories narrated by the heroic Muslim swordsman, culminating in a short novel focused more upon his European friend. Abdul Dost is later joined by Lamb's most famous character, Khlit the Cossack, in three novellas and an action-crammed novella.
All of these tales can be found in the first two volumes of the upcoming Lamb collections from Bison Books, in Spring of 2006.
Best,
Howard

Sounds great, Howard! Count me in when you start taking advanced orders.
This particular tale I've mentioned seems like the middle of a longer story, since it appears a little unresolved at the end. It's still a good exciting tale by itself -- maybe the other stories will resolve the ending to this one.

| Posted By : jonesha - 10/17/2005 11:54 AM | Andy, those four are really tightly interwoven, one falling right on the heels of the next, with the short novel as a capstone.
Good stuff--it's hard to find swashbuckling adventures set in ancient India. And Ralph, darned right you are!
