The Yellow God (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781536920727)

Armchair fiction presents extra-large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. H. Rider Haggard's "The Yellow God" is an illustrated edition and is the eighth installment of our "Lost World-Lost Race Classics" series. This is H. Rider Haggard's incredible adventure into forgotten regions of Africa. His stout adventurer is Major Alan Vernon who, along with his loyal servant Jeekie, goes on a harrowing quest in search of legendary golden hordes. Along the way they encounter a variety of dangers: poison-arrow-shooting dwarves, cannibals, ferocious jungle beasts, raging rivers, deadly swamps, and an imposing storm of daunting magnitude. Yet in spite of these obstacles, Vernon and Jeekie soon discover the lost race of the Asikis, a mysterious civilization ruled by a beautiful yet evil woman reminiscent of Ayesha from Haggard's classic novel, "She." Things become ever so complicated when her heart is captured by the British adventurer's strength and charm and she sees him as her returned lover. Unfortunately for Vernon, she also decides to keep him around-permanently.
