Gentlemen of the Road by Michael Chabon (Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, etc) was originally to be called 'Jews with Swords'. It's a historical adventure novel featuring two wanderers who become involved in a plot to restore a displaced prince of Khazaria to the throne. It's a classic and very classical adventure tale filled with swords, rogueishness, horses, and the importance of hanging onto one's hat. The massive African Amram and the slight Frankish Zelikman could easily be a Fahfrd and Grey Mouser of the historical world.
Only about 200 pages long, it moves quickly. I read it in it's entrity this morning after breakfast while lounging at Panera's.
