Synopsis

Haggard wrote Allan Quatermain immediately after King Solomon’s Mines, though it takes place at the chronological tail end of Quatermain’s adventures. He has just lost his only son, and is now wearied with the traditional English lifestyle. He longs for the wilds of Africa. He convinces his friends Sir Henry Curtis and Captain John Good as well as the Zulu chief Umbopa to return to Africa in search of a fabled race of white people. Fierce Masai warriors, subterranean rivers, creatures from the deep, and a spectacular civil war are all in store for our seasoned adventurers. It’s an adventure you won’t want to miss!

Goodreads review by Julian on June 17, 2022

This is the sequel to King Solomon's Mines written in 1885. This book is written by a Victorian male writer who has certain preoccupations and stereotypes, which were I suppose typical in most male writers of the time. Readers should be aware of this.

Goodreads review by Dark-Draco on May 15, 2014

Hmmmm. And again...Hmmmm. I'm not sure what I really thought of this, hence the very neutral star rating. The first half of the book I loved - it's everything I expected.
