Summary "The Saracen: Land of the Infidel" by Robert Shea is a historical novel written in the late 20th century. The story unfolds in the 13th century, a time characterized by the tension between Christian and Muslim territories, as it follows Daoud ibn Abdallah, a young warrior and Mameluke, who is sent on a covert mission to Christian Italy. Alongside him is Sophia, an adaptable courtesan, navigating the complexities of a divided world influenced by religious strife and political intrigue. The opening of the novel introduces Daoud, who has traveled a long and arduous journey to reach Lucera, a city predominantly inhabited by Muslims within a Christian realm. His sense of isolation and dread is palpable as he prepares for a clandestine meeting with King Manfred's chancellor. The narrative heightens when Daoud faces immediate suspicion upon arrival, showcasing the challenges of his dual identity as both a warrior for Islam and a face among Christians. As tensions rise, the reader is drawn into a world rife with danger, stirring characters, and a quest that may determine the fate of civilizations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
