The editor of <i>Adventure</i>, <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Sullivant_Hoffman" title="Arthur Sullivant Hoffman">Arthur Sullivant Hoffman</a>, praised Lamb's writing ability, describing him as "always the scholar first, the good fictionist second".<sup id="cite_ref-authors_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-authors-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The majority of Harold Lamb's work for <i>Adventure</i> was historical fiction, and his stories can be thematically divided into three categories — those featuring Cossacks, Crusaders, or Asian/Middle-Eastern Protagonists. </p><p>Lamb's stories were well-researched and rooted in their time, often featuring real historical characters, but set in places unfamiliar and exotic to most of the western audience reading his fiction. While his adventure stories had familiar tropes such as tyrannical rulers and scheming priests, he avoided the simplistic depiction of foreign or unfamiliar cultures as evil; many of his heroes were Mongolian, Indian, Russian, or Muslim.<sup id="cite_ref-bnt_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bnt-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Most of his protagonists were outsiders or outcasts apart from civilization, and all but a very few were skilled swordsmen and warriors. </p><p>In a Lamb story, honor and loyalty to one's comrades-in-arms were more important than cultural identity, although often his protagonists ended up risking their lives to protect the cultures that had spurned them. Those holding positions of authority are almost universally depicted as being corrupted by their power or consumed with greed, be they Russian <a href="/wiki/Boyar" title="Boyar">boyars</a> or Buddhist priests, and merchants are almost always shown as placing their desire for coin above the well-being of their fellow men. Loyalty, wisdom, and religious piety is shown again and again in these stories to lie more securely in the hands of Lamb's common folk. </p><p>While his stories are not bereft of the "damsel in distress" trope, Lamb typically depicted his female characters as courageous, independent, and more shrewd than their male counterparts. Their motives and true loyalties, though, remained mysterious to Lamb's male characters, and their unknowable nature is frequently the source of plot tension. </p><p>Lamb was never a formula plotter, and his stories often turned upon surprising developments arising from character conflict. The bulk of his Crusader, Asian, and Middle-Eastern stories (as well as the latter stories of Khlit the Cossack) were written in the latter portion of his pulp magazine years, and demonstrate a growing command of prose tools, with the more frequent use, for example, of poetic metaphor in his description.<sup id="cite_ref-bnt_9-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bnt-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Cossack_tales">Cossack tales</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Harold_Lamb&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Cossack tales"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>By far the largest number of these tales were short stories, novellas, and novels of <a href="/wiki/Cossacks" title="Cossacks">Cossacks</a> wandering the Asian steppes during the late 16th and early 17th century, all but a half-dozen featuring a set of allied characters. Two early books (<i>Kirdy</i> and <i>White Falcon</i>) reprinted the longest of these Cossack adventures, and two later books (<i>The Curved Saber</i> and <i>The Mighty Manslayer</i>) reprinted 14 of the short stories; the four large <i>Steppes</i> volumes published by the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Nebraska_Press" title="University of Nebraska Press">University of Nebraska Press</a> present all of Lamb's Cossack tales in chronological order. </p><p>The most famous of these Cossack characters is <a href="/wiki/Khlit_the_Cossack" title="Khlit the Cossack">Khlit</a>, a grey-bearded veteran who survives as often by his wiles as his sword arm; he is a featured character in 18 of the Cossack adventures and appears in another. He chooses to wander Asia rather than face forced "Cossack retirement" in a Russian monastery and launches into an odyssey that takes him to Mongolia, China, and Afghanistan. He comes to befriend and rely upon folk he has been raised to despise and briefly rises to leadership of a Tartar tribe before wandering further south. His greatest friend proves to be the swashbuckling swordsman, Abdul Dost, whom he aids in raising a rebellion against the <a href="/wiki/Mughal_Empire" title="Mughal Empire">Mughal emperor</a> in Afghanistan. In later stories, Khlit returns as a secondary character, an aged advisor to his adventurous grandson, Kirdy, and other Cossack heroes featured in separate stories. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Crusader_tales">Crusader tales</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Harold_Lamb&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Crusader tales"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Unlike Lamb's Cossack stories, only a handful of his Crusader stories are interrelated.
