    About this ebook

    Alamut by H.A. Lamb is about Khlit's adventures in the citadel Alamut, also known as the stronghold of The Old Man of the Mountain. Excerpt: "IT WAS the year of the lion at the very end of the sixteenth century when Khlit guided his horse into Astrakan. No sentries challenged him in the streets of Astrakan, for the Cossacks were masters here and no Cossack would dishonor himself by taking precautions against danger. There were many Mohammedans in the streets of Astrakan, but it was evening and the followers of Allah were repeating the last of their prayers, facing, as was the law, toward the city of Mecca."
