Lord of the Atlas: A historical adventure thriller of old Morocco

A proper adventure. Fast paced, brutal and captivating.

Marrakesh, 1893: After leaving his military career in disgrace, Harry Delhaze turns to a life of drink and gambling. But then he’s offered a way out – a small fortune to help the Sultan of Morocco quell a rebel uprising. It sounds like easy money and Harry thinks his luck has turned.

But he soon learns that nothing in life comes easy. He is forced to battle the wild bandit armies of ruthless prophet-warlord, Bou Hamra, through the snows of the Atlas Mountains and the baking deserts of the Sahara. And he suddenly finds himself in the fight of his life.

With everything on the line, Harry must search his soul. When you make war for money, does it matter whose coin it is – or do loyalty and justice still mean something?

From the backstreets of Victorian London, to the kasbahs of Marrakesh, this historical thriller is a gripping tale of intrigue, loyalty and courage, evoking the beautiful and the barbaric of nineteenth-century Morocco.

Colin Falconer’s series of stand-alone novels draws inspiration from many periods of history. Bargain with Kublai Khan in ancient Cathay, battle Aztec warriors in a jungle temple, or enter the mountain strongholds of the legendary Cathars. Glimpse Julius Caesar in the sweat and press of the Roman Forum, ride a war elephant in the army of Alexander the Great, or follow Suleiman the Magnificent into the forbidden palace of his harem.

This series has 8000 five-star reviews and has been translated into 25 languages.
