When two brothers lose their home because of the father's unethical behavior, then he commits suicide, Leonard Outram and his older sibling, Tom are left penniless. Both flee to Africa and vowing to each other never to return until they regain Outram Hall, in England. But how to restore their family's centuries old, estate and honor? Leonard leaves the woman he loves Jane Beach, her father forbids his daughter from marrying Outram who has no income or prospects. Besides, a rich man wants Jane to be his bride, emotions run high as Leonard and Jane say good-bye probably for the last time. Many tears flow and not just from Jane's eyes, hugs and kisses and then she disappears into the cold night...Seven years later, the brothers are digging for gold on a lonely hill in southern Africa finding a small amount yet Leonard still remembers Jane, and Tom is dying in a tent. Leonard reaffirms his pledge to Tom to keep on until their goal is reached as his brother's life slowly comes to an end at dawn. The despondent Leonard helplessly watches, all his entourage are now dead. Four graves dug, the African servants have gone too. Only his friend the black dwarf named Otter (by him) because he swims like one, remains. However a hungry old woman arrives and tells a fantastic tale, slave traders have kidnapped her mistress Juanna (the correct name should be Joana). While her father was away from his small settlement and taken with others to a slave camp in Portuguese Mozambique. If he rescues her the woman Soa will take him to her tribe The People of the Mist, where precious stones, rubies and sapphires are found. Miraculously he succeeds by disguising himself as a French slaver but not before marrying Juanna, by force. Francisco a captured Catholic priest performed the ceremony the couple had known each other for a few minutes; nevertheless Outram was the top bidder! The slaver boss Antonio Pereira, almost a gentleman he insisted Leonard do the right thing ...well maybe that's not really quite true, he did kill a few people. After much bloody fighting, burning up the camp, destroying it forever with the help of his new, freed and grateful African friends. The unlikely and uneasy party of five strangers, Leonard, Juanna, Otter, Francisco and Soa, the unfriendly guide. Along with some former captives recently liberated by the now, well nicknamed the "Deliverer", Leonard. They head up north to the mountains in the center of the unexplored continent, months pass the tired group are starving worst yet, Juanna acts like she hates Leonard, he loves the Portuguese lady and she keeps away from her "husband". At long last they come to their destination... a tall cliff. How can the five get over it and come to the hostile land of Soa's, the tribe practice human sacrifice to the Gods ( a monster in a pool). The old woman hasn't been here in forty years, changes would have occurred since then? Still Mr. Outram would rather die than turn back...the group starts climbing...Death awaits there in the mysterious land of the thick mists. Set at the end of the Victorian age... Just pure fun, a touch of red liquid though... for suitable entertainment...

Assess Containing Books The People of the Mist

I feel slightly guilty checking this book as "read," because I didn't read it--just listened to it. I'm afraid I've become a bit hooked on audiobooks. Don't misunderstand me--I don't plan to overhaul my reading style, and you can always find me at lunchtime propping open an actual, physical book with my plate while I try not to splash spaghetti sauce on the pages. But when I'm folding laundry, spiffing up the house, or making meals, having an audiobook to fall back on has been so delightful. I

This is a tale of derring-do, with great villains, damsels in distress, and English adventurers to the rescue. If I had to compare it to a story I've read I would go with the Count of Monte Cristo.The hero is obsessive and unscrupulous in his pursuit of treasure, even to the point of risking the lives of those he loves to obtain it, but is otherwise courageous and valiant. His companion, Otter, is a dwarf-servant and my favorite character in the book. The story has two main thrusts and both are

An adventure/romance novel, set in Africa during the slave trade era of the 1800's. A quaint naivete and constraint characterize the writing throughout: there is violence, but not gratuitous or graphic; there is romance but no sex; the native Africans exist on a different and lower plain than the white people (but intelligent and honorable Africans play major parts in this story). This is all expected from a novel published in 1893-1894. The action moved along moderately for much of the book,

I'm still working on this. I have a Kindle version, which I was reading while I was at Gulf Coast Medical waiting for my husband to be taken to recovery. There were parts I had to read over again because frankly it was putting me to sleep, but I kept reminding myself this story was at least 100 years old. Also 1. at that time they were more into telling than showing, and this is something else I have to keep in mind. Also 2. they were big into facial hair, which...ewww.On the plus side, it does

Haggard pretty much began the Lost Race novel, or so it is generally said. For that reason I'll give this book a 4. Just for reading, however, I'd have to rate it a 3. Good, but a little slow. Not as much fun as ERB or REH.

I'd imagine a lot of people have downgraded this novel for its antediluvian approach to race and class. Well, that's just the way those things were done in those days (late 19th century, turn of the 20th). You'll seldom find much else, especially in African adventure tale. On the positive side, "Mist" has a lot stronger sense of plot than "She" and a better and more nuanced cast of characters. Otter, the black dwarf, is a marvelous creation on every level. Yes, he's deep in the "wog" tradition,
