In the late sixteenth century, the world was on the brink of precipitous change. In H. Rider Haggard's novel Fair Margaret, the turmoil of this transitional period plays itself out in personal relationships. The beautiful daughter of an affluent merchant, Margaret's planned marriage is derailed when she is whisked away by a hot-blooded Spaniard. Her fiancé gives chase, and the story transitions into a high-seas adventure that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Finished is a detailed historical account of the decline of the once-mighty Zulu nation, recounted from the perspective of globe-trotting adventurer Allan Quatermain. From the thrill of the safari to battlefield play-by-plays, this novel will not disappoint fans of the classic action-adventure genre.
