Quite an exciting adventure set in Afganistan of the early 20th century. Has adventure, fighting, and treachery enough for any pulp fan.

the second story of Irish crusader, Cormac Fitzgeoffery, is the least memorable. It's basically a bunch of different nationalities in the Levant trying to backstab each other. Not much story here.

Unfortunately, REH didn't complete "Slave Princess" the final Cormac story, which would have been the best Comac story for certain. (enough exists to set up the plot well)

Incredibly short tale about an attempted fictional coup in Costa Rica. Reads like a news report.

An exceptional bit of pulp. Conan and Valeria are thrown into a claustrophobic, underground of Mezo-American factions fighting a bloody war of attrition. Howard was always the best at atmosphere. Some elements might feel familiar as this style of setting (faction wars with an outsider arriving) has been copied almost as often as "The Most Dangerous game"

A really fantastic book, less so for the mystery/adventure, moreso for the fascinating snapshot of the underground of NY in 1916. It takes you on a whirlwind tour of the life of gangsters, district attorneys, sufferegettes, the city morgue and black and tan joints.
The author was apparently a reporter and his eye for detail shines through. I love books like this, written during the actual time period, rather than an author imagining they were there. If this were written by a contemporay author, the author would feel the need to encourage the heroines the sufferegette movement, or comment on the wonderful mixing of whites and blacks at a black and tan joint, in order to be "on the right side of history", rather than just reporting the conditions without judgement, just using them to add colour to the atmosphere.
The enthusiasm for the lastest technological advances in listening devices such as a "detectograph"would also be missed.
A true gem that deserves to be celebrated and not passed into obscurity. Much better than any modern writer could do with the time period.

Set in the year 1900, this is a reasonable mystery about the murder of a south african millionarie in london.

Wilford's stuff is good, particularly if you like scoundrals as main characters. Much more interesting than the usual straightforward protagonists.

a short, fun little story. worth your time.

Wilford is really good at writing unlikeable characters whom it is easy to root against, yet still feel sympathy for. Its a fine trait for a writer.

A fun, late genre crime noir. quite a page turner with lots of colourful characters. At this point, Wilford isn't afraid to make all the characters scoundrals and buck some of the genre tropes.
