<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>After the tragic death of his son, Allan Quatermain's grief is inconsolable. Feeling that the only possible way to ease his pain is through an expedition, Quatermain seeks out Captain Good, Sir Henry Curtis, and the Zulu chief Umslopogaas, who all previously journeyed with him to King Solomon's Mine. After explaining his predicament, Quatermain persuades them to accompany him on one last journey--a search mission to find a lost city. Together they set out to expedition through unexplored land, setting out from the East African coast into a territory inhabited by a group called the Maasai. Unfortunately, they are not welcomed into this land. While boarding with a Scottish missionary, Mr. Mackenzie, a man from the Maasai group kidnaps Mr. Mackenzie's daughter. After the man demands the death of one of the explorers as ransom, Curtis, Umslopogaas, Captain Good, and Quatermain decide to ambush the Maasai village in attempts to rescue Mr. Mackenzie's daughter. As they continue their journey, they must travel through unfamiliar and dangerous land and battle native groups. However, when they finally find the lost civilization they were searching for, the men are surprised when a love triangle emerges and creates more chaos than they have ever faced during their adventures. </p><p> </p><p>Described as a fun and exciting read from start to finish, H.
