For implementing a Prolog-like language, you might want to look at
this book on the Warren Abstract Machine:

You might also want to look at 'KANREN' and specifically 'miniKANREN':
http://kanren.sourceforge.net/
miniKANREN is a simple declarative logic programming system embedded
into Scheme. I don't know how efficient the system is, but it might
give you further ideas on how to implement such a system.
