The further adventures of Allan Quartermain, Haggard's recurrent adventurer-hero. Simultaneously issued in cloth and boards, the boards issue being the much less common of the two. The fourth book in the Allan Quatermain series.
Before there was Indiana Jones there was Allan Quartermain: the original explorer, treasure hunter, and adventurer. The Quartermain books have captivated readers for more than a century, spawning more than a dozen movies and a host of imitators. In this the fourth Quartermain book we watch with Allan as a Zulu Woman takes her revenge!
