Swords from the DesertCountless authors have swept us into the exotic east, but few based their tales there. In a time when westerners still spoke publicly about "the white man's burden," Harold Lamb was crafting action packed stories featuring Arabs, Mongols, and Hindus as heroic, sympathetic, and believable characters: men of honor and integrity ready to lay down their lives for their countries and their comrades.

Countless authors have swept us into the exotic east, but few based their tales there. In a time when westerners still spoke publicly about "the white man's burden," Harold Lamb was crafting action-packed stories featuring Arabs, Mongols, and Hindus as heroic, sympathetic, and believable characters: men of honor and integrity ready to lay down their lives for their countries and their comrades. Assembled in this volume are four novellas and three short stories gleaned from the work of one of the greatest pulp writers. Lamb eventually won acclaim and awards for his accurate historical research and was regularly consulted by the State Department for his Middle Eastern expertise, but before any of that he drafted these thrilling tales of adventure. In "The Shield," Khalil el Khadr reaches storied Constantinople just before it is besieged by a horde of crusaders. He must survive the intrigues of his rivals, bypass the invading Franks, rescue the maiden under his charge, and escape with the city's most fabulous horse. Journey to sixteenth-century India with the brilliant Daril ibn Athir, a skilled Arab physician with a sharp wit and a sharper sword that he must wield in three novellas to keep schemers and assassins at bay. Three shorter tales of heroes and maidens from desert lands round out this volume, a must-have for those who thrill to tales of bold deeds and daring exploits.

Truly does clean even mascara and eyeliner and there is no oily residue - just a clean face!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 7.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I won’t be without this face cleansing oil! It works like magic to remove every trace of foundation, eye liner, mascara, eyeshadow and leaves my face feeling hydrated but not greasy or filmy. It rinses off easily - I have used it for 10+ years . It never causes breakouts nor does it leave residue. I am 75 years old.,

A little goes a long way!
I'm almost 50 years old and have dry and super sensitive skin. I've struggled to find for years a gentle moisturizer, but effective on my fine lines as well. Omg this works! This gives my skin a beautiful non-oily glow, no negative reactions or breakouts, and leaves my skin so incredibly soft with elasticity. Within minutes it dries (or skin soaks it up) wonderfully, it's not sticky. I'm very pleased with this product, I will be purchasing it again, I hope this product remains the same, and stays on the market. I LOVE this product! I also have no need for my expensive moisturizer anymore, that was quite frankly not as nice as this. Keeps my skin moisturized and soft for 24 hours, fully tested this. I do use an eye cream, but only after I've used this over my entire face and neck after washing. Amazing product, no scent, awesome value for the money. Highly recommend!!

Unique Texture, Amazing Results — Now One of My Favorites!
This serum definitely has a texture similar to snail mucin, so it took me a few tries to get used to — but I’m so glad I stuck with it because the results are incredible. Once it absorbs, my skin feels deeply hydrated, smoother, and so much more plump. The rice and ceramide formula really strengthens the skin barrier, and I’ve noticed my complexion looking brighter and healthier overall. It layers beautifully under moisturizer and doesn’t leave any sticky residue once it settles in. If you’re looking for a hydrating, brightening serum and don’t mind a unique texture, this one is absolutely worth it. It grew on me fast and is now a staple in my routine!

Great products
Helps with skin irritation does not leave a crazy residue. It is effective and it's an easy application! so the valuable for your money . They could definitely charge a little less, though. But all around great products by ANUA
