Reviews

"Lamb was an expert plotter. 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." JOHN J. MILLER, The Wall Street Journal, 26th Aug 2009
