Summary & Review:
Allan Quatermain has spent the majority of his adult life as an elephant hunter in the wilds of Africa. When is he is asked to join two fellow Englishmen on a quest to find one’s brother, he is at first hesitant, until he hears what the missing man was after: King Solomon’s diamond mines. Their journey will take them through godforsaken deserts, freezing mountains, and into dangerous tribal lands, but will they find the missing man or the diamonds and make it back alive?
This is a type of book that just isn’t written anymore. I guess technology has made the world a lot more accessible so places like the jungles of Africa don’t feel quite as exciting when you can just Google image search them. But, that didn’t affect the fun of this adventure tale at all, in my opinion. It transports the reader to a time that is now lost on an adventure that is no longer possible and does so with action and excitement.
