The final novel in H. Rider Haggardβs much-anticipated trilogy, βAllan and the Ice Godsβ, sees the return of Allan Quatermain and features Lady Luna Ragnall and the taduki drug yet again.
This time, however, Allan is refusing to see Lady Luna Ragnall. The awkwardness of the last three drug-induced visions, revealing their marriage, left him squirming. But she is about to let spill that their ancient counterparts were right. And they were indeed married.
As Allan is yet again transported to the barbaric Ice Age, can he restore order in the tribe? And more importantly, can he weave in new technology and intelligence without unbalancing history? βAllan and the Ice Godsβ is the ideal rip-roaring tale, perfect for adventure-fantasy fans of Jack Blackβs βGulliverβs Travelsβ.
H. Rider Haggard KBE (1856-1925) was an English writer of adventure fiction romances and a pioneer of the lost world genre. His rip-roaring tales include βKing Solomonβs Minesβ, βAllan Quatermainβ, βNada the Lillyβ and the epic Viking romance βEric Brighteyesβ. Portraying the stereotypes of colonialism, his work also focused on agricultural and social reform. Itβs no surprise that Haggard is remembered today as an influential figure in land reform throughout the British Empire.
