Seller's Description:
Illustrated by Roy G. Krenkel. Near Fine. No Dust Jacket As Issued. No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, mild expected age-toning; no spine crease. All edges stained green. Stamp on the top edge. The Sowers of the Thunder is a historical fiction short story by American author Robert E. Howard, first published in Oriental Stories and Magic Carpet Magazine between 1932 and 1934. Set in Outremer during the era of General Baibars, it explores the complex dynamic between Baibars and Cahal Ruadh O'Donnell, an Irish Crusader with a troubled past, typical of Howard's rugged, larger-than-life characters. In these thrilling pulp adventures, Howard is at his finest, delivering action-packed, swashbuckling tales. The last story, The Shadow of the Vulture, introduces the character Red Sonya, and the collection features an introduction and striking illustrations by Roy G. Krenkel. [Adapted from Reviews]
Robert E. Howard is well known among readers of action/adventure as the creator of Conan of Cimmeria, the Puritan killer Solomon Kane, and Kull of Atlantis.
He is less known for his forays into historical fiction, but these bleak, savage (and action-packed) stories of the Crusades and the Mongols are remarkable, and should be read by anyone who appreciates Howards immense descriptive skill.
"The Lion Of Tiberias"
The year 1124: One of the few survivors of a battle against the Caliph of Baghdad, Crusader John Norwald was enslaved in the galleys by "Zenghi esh Shami, Imad ed din, governor of Wasit and warden of Basorah, whom men called the Lion of Tiberias", after seeing Zenghi mercilessly murder a young boy... "the only person who had ever shown Norwald kindness"...If it took a lifetime, John Norwald would have his revenge.
"Shadow of The Vulture"
The story of Suleiman the Great and his attack on the City of Vienna in 1529, (and the lengthy siege that followed). Howard, as is his wont, works in some excellent fictional characters: Red Sonya, in her first appearance in print, and the drunken (yet ferocious and formidable) Gottfried von Kalmbach (whose head Suleiman wants on a platter).
The title story, a brutally told, excellent tale (historically detailed and exciting) of the real life conqueror Baibars, Sultan of Egypt and Syria, the fictional Red Cahal who opposes him, and the actual slaughter by Tartars of Moslem and Christian alike in the sack of Jerusalem in 1243.
This book is well worth buying for any fan of Robert E. Howard, or those who appreciate historical fiction in the tradition of Harold Lamb (but a little more graphically violent, as we expect from R.E.H.).
I also recommend the desert tales of another Howard slayer, Francis Xavier Gordon, known as El Borak (The Swift) an American adventurer who wears the bloody White Hat in:
If you like Conan and Solomon Kane, you'll enjoy these stories as well.
