Lord of the Atlas

A feared warlord. A disgraced officer. A capricious sultan. An offer too good to refuse. Marrakesh, 1893: After being drummed out of the army and losing the love of his life, Harry Delhaze can see no further than the next drink. Then an old friend from the past appears. He wants Harry to come with him to Morocco to help the sultan quell a rebel uprising. It sounds like easy money and Harry thinks his luck has turned. But this is no ordinary rebellion. Warlord, Bou Hamra, is a formidable enemy. Harry comes face to face with ancient cannons, crazed warriors and caged lions. And when he is taken prisoner by the mysterious Lord of the Atlas, he realises he’s no longer fighting for money – he’s fighting for his life. From the ancient palaces of Marrakesh to the lonely kasbahs of the wild Atlas Mountains, this is a gripping tale of intrigue, loyalty and courage.
