The Blood Red Horizon (The Lost Templar Book 2)

In the tradition of authors Robert E. Howard and Lester Dent, J.W. Bradley's The Lost Templar series harkens back to the days of dime store pulps and campy serials. Rife with bloody action and strange locales, the novelettes feature Simon Birke, an Englishman born into privilege, who leaves all he knows behind in order to serve the Lord as a humble Knight of the Templar.
Previously in Volume 1: The Savage Green
Even as Jerusalem stands on the brink of falling to the mighty Saracen armies of Saladin, Simon Birke is sent on a mysterious quest to retrieve a legendary relic of immense power. Armed with only the vaguest of instructions, the knight must recover the prize from a distant shore and attempt to fight his way back with it in time to save the Holy City from the Muslim hordes, but what Simon discovers there, will drastically change the young Christian warrior forever.


Now Volume 2: The Blood Red Horizon
J.W. Bradley takes Simon down a darker, more frightening path as the Templar returns to Africa with news of his wondrous discovery, only to find his fellow knights scattered across the land, hunted and fighting for their very lives.
Captured by the bloodthirsty warlord Omar Nezir, Simon Birke learns of a lost city that may hold yet another powerful Christian relic, a weapon straight out of the New Testament. His seniors friars believe it would aid them in their fight against the powerful Mussulman leader, Saladin.
However, the ancient, lost city hides evil and terrible secrets that could threaten all of creation if Simon were to fail in his new quest.
With The Blood Red Horizon, J.W. Bradley begins intricately dovetailing The Lost Templar books with his modern day H.P. Lovecraft inspired horror series starring Gideon Clark and his monster hunting W.E.r.d. organization.
