  Allan Quatermain

  Allan Quatermain was the quintessential Victorian English gentleman cum African big-game hunter. In this book, the second in the series, Quaterman and his two good friends from KSM have tired of their dull and unfulfilling lives in England, and decide to search for the truth of an old tale about the existence of an isolated white kingdom deep in darkest Africa. Their journey and subsequent adventures are sure to satisfy those who enjoy tales of dangerous quests and heroic just-in-time derring-do. Allan Quatermain appears in some 15 to 18 stories or books by H. Rider Haggard. (The number varies by source and apparently depends on how one chooses to count the shorter stories.) Haggard suggests that Quatermain was the author of the works, and he (Haggard) only edited and published them. The most famous Quatermain book is the first, King Solomon’s Mines (1885), and the sequel (1887) was Allan Quatermain - in which the main character, shall we say, departs for a better place! All the other Quatermain books – even those whose events occurred earlier in time – seem to have been written after these two main titles. The internal chronology of Quatermain’s life is a big mess, to be honest. As you study the research and learn of the numerous contradictions of timing of events in the books, you see that conjecture and invention are required to create any kind of internal chronology that makes sense. So my advice is to read (listen to) the books for enjoyment, don’t take notes!, and don’t worry about how one event simply can’t be possible on the apparent date because it conflicts wtih some other event in a different story! Hey! It’s fiction – anything goes!

  "He who seeks vengeance must dig two graves: one for his enemy and one for himself." 
   
  In the Middle East, refugees fleeing dictatorship and terrorism pour across the borders into Europe, destabilizing countries already in the throes of economic crisis. But not all who seek refuge share the same reasons for so doing. . . 
   
  In the UK, the nationalist far Right gathers strength--fueled by a government unable or unwilling to protect its own. 
   
  England is on the brink. All it will take to send it tumbling into the abyss. . .is a single push. 
   
  And in the midst of it all, two men have arrived in London, dark harbingers of death to come. One of them is a terrorist, responsible for one of the most successful attacks against the West in the years since 9/11. The other, an assassin, come to take his life. 
   
  Fifteen years Harry Nichols spent as a CIA paramilitary operations officer. Fifteen long years of war, tracking America's enemies across the world. Hunting them down--killing them. Before they could strike. Until the Christmas Eve attacks on Las Vegas forced him to resign from the Agency. Attacks which killed hundreds of innocent Americans, claimed the life of the woman he had sworn to protect. The woman he loved. 
   
  Forced out into the cold, Nichols has found himself in the UK, operating without sanction, without law. A man without a country--come to London with a single purpose: kill the man responsible for the attacks in Vegas. Avenge her death. 
   
  No matter what it takes. What lines must be crossed. What faiths must be betrayed. There are no rules, not any more. Only vengeance. 
   
  His career with the CIA is over. His war. . .has only just begun.
