H. Rider Haggard ~7 hr read

Allan Quatermain, the great hunter, seeks out the immortal white queen Ayesha to ask the dead a question, a journey through swamp and battle, with the axe-wielding Umslopogaas at his side.

H. Rider Haggard's 1921 novel brings together his two most famous creations, Quatermain and 'She,' in a grand lost-world adventure. Rousing, mythic, richly told. Read it for the ultimate Haggard crossover, the hunter of King Solomon's Mines meeting She-who-must-be-obeyed in a sweeping African quest.
