Description
"The Saracen: Land of the Infidel" by Robert Shea is a historical novel written in the late 20th century. An English-born boy is captured, enslaved, and raised as a devout Muslim warrior named Daoud ibn Abdullah. Trained by the legendary Hashishyya assassins, he infiltrates the 13th-century Papal Court in Orvieto as a spy to prevent a Christian-Mongol alliance against Islam. Blending historical figures like Thomas Aquinas and Baibars with fictional characters, this adventure tale explores secret societies while chronicling an epic clash of civilizations over the fate of the Holy Land.
