Touching the secrets and shrines of antiquity greatly influenced the participants in the journey to the wild lands of the African Kenda tribe. Not everyone was granted a long life, but those who survived have changed greatly and, oddly enough, dream of a return visit. Only the hunter Quartermaine believes that he has remained the same - a stern skeptic who always keeps his word and is ready to help, even if he really doesn’t want to do it or when he is simply scared. The next volume of the “Masters of Adventure” series includes two novels from Haggard’s series about Allan Quartermain - "The Ivory Child" and "Ancient Allan".
