Allan Quatermain
Authorship not stated
Your son is buried, and Durban feels empty enough that when Sir Henry Curtis and Captain Good invite you, Allan Quatermain, north — no treasure, no throne, just exploration — you go. In the interior you find Umslopogaas, a Zulu chief you fought beside twelve years ago, now exiled by his wife's betrayal; when Masai swimmers grip your canoe in the dark, he decides how much violence the moment needs. By morning the missionary's daughter Flossie is gone, and the Masai captain holding her wants you to come alone and unarmed.
