This sequel to King Solomons Mines is filled with the spirit of adventure.
Thrilled by rumors of a lost civilization, three Englishmen decide to travel to the heart of Africa with their
Zulu guide where they meet with continual peril: an attack by a cruel warrior tribe, the scorch of underground
volcanic fires, and an encounter with a huge species of ferocious black crab. Exhausted and depleted of
supplies, the men at last arrive at a mysterious city in the highlands of the interior. More problems arise
when one of the Englishmen falls in love with one of the twin queens who rule the land.
Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925) was born in Norfolk, England. After failing the Army entrance exam, he went to
Natal in 1875, as secretary to Sir Henry Bulwer, and the next year went to the Transvaal. He returned to
England in 1881, married, and settled down to a literary life. His first novel, King Solomon's Mines, was
published in 1885. He published thirty-four adventure novels during his lifetime. He was knighted in 1912.
Fred Williams, a graduate of the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, works in theater, film, TV, and
