Anjani

Harry Perrivale's expedition into the African jungle is destined to be singularly ill-fated. Accompanied by native bearers, his wife Rita, and trader Caleb Moon, he hopes to find the legendary lost city of Akada. Moon has a treasure map that had once belonged to an earlier explorer who'd met his death twenty years before. But Moon has plans to kill Perrivale, abduct Rita, and keep the gold and ivory of Akada for himself. Then the party encounters a giant white man, Anjani, who speaks only the native dialect of the tribe with whom he has lived all his life. Who is this strange man, and how did he come to be there-and what is his connection with Akada? A thrilling jungle adventure in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs, now reprinted for the first time in six decades!

Anjani returns! in this direct sequel to The Gold of Akada, Rita Perrivale, widow of an English explorer, goes back to the coast of West Africa. Having inherited her husband's fortune, she spares no expense on this new venture to loot the legendary lost city of Akada of its treasures. But Rita had only survived the disastrous first expedition because of the help of Anjani, a white man of immense strength and stature who had been brought up in the jungle by a native tribe. Now Rita hopes to be reunited with Anjani, but she has reckoned without the danger posed by his treacherous twin brother, Tocoto, who is contesting Ajani for the supremacy of the Dark Continent; and of the beautiful Mea, the ruler of Akada's ancient sister city. Will Anjani survive the myriad dangers of unknown Africa? Another thrilling jungle adventure in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs!
