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

A feared warlord. A disgraced officer. A sultan's deadly game. A 12-hour epic adventure, perfect for fans of Wilbur Smith and Bernard Cornwell.

Marrakesh, 1893: Once a proud officer, Harry Delhaze is now broke, disgraced and drowning his regrets in the nearest bottle. Then an old comrade offers him a lifeline: travel to Morocco, help the sultan crush a rebellion and walk away with a fortune.

It sounds like salvation. It's anything but.

The uprising is led by Bou Hamra, a ruthless warlord with ancient cannons, fanatical warriors and caged lions at his command. As the desert closes in, Harry is captured by the mysterious Lord of the Atlas, a man whose ambitions stretch far beyond rebellion.

Now Harry must summon every ounce of courage, cunning and loyalty he has left. Because in the wild heart of Morocco, the fight is no longer for gold... it's for survival.

From the ancient palaces of Marrakesh to the windswept kasbahs of the Atlas Mountains, Lord of the Atlas is a pulse-pounding tale of danger, betrayal and adventure at the edge of empire.
