A Yellow God: an Idol of Africa eBook
As in most Rider Haggard tales, there is a love interest, in this case between Alan and Barbara, with Sir Robert, who is almost old enough to be her father, also being attracted to Barbara. Major Vernon resigns from the firm the weekend before the stock float because of ethical concerns and in doing so goes from expectations of wealth to the reality of serious personal financial challenges. Most of the remainder of the tale involves Major Vernon and Jeekie returning Little Bonsa to its place of origin in Africa in search of gold which is plentiful with, and of limited value to the Asiki tribe.
It is not great literature, but it is very entertaining and well worth reading. A rollicking African romance adventure. Reminiscent of Wilbur Smith.

Full of death defying feats with natives and a quest for gold. It is kind of a weak shadow of parts of the She series. A little far even for pulp fantasy--swimming masks made out of gold that execute people? Very interesting twist with touches of the occult. Very different from the usual Rider haggard adventure tales but still with plenty of thrills to keep you enthralled. I ordered this for a friends kindle.

Der Autor ist ein Meister der Bilder, wie diese Todeszene zeigt: Then he turned towards that vast audience of the trees, stretched out his hand with a declamatory gesture, said something in a composed voice, and fell upon his face stone dead!

Vernon set out for Africa with his faithful major domo Jeekie to seek his fortune with a lost African tribe Another Haggard African novel, but not an Alan Quatermain one. Vernon set out for Africa with his faithful major domo Jeekie to seek his fortune with a lost African tribe. By far the best character in the novel is Jeekie who constantly saves the day in a variety of ways and who provides continuous humor. Dec 29, Fantasy Literature rated it liked it.
