This sequel to The Coral Island tells the tale of Ralph Rover, Jack Martin and Peterkin Gay, who, after their South Seas travels, decide to join the great hunters on an expedition into the anterior of the "Dark Continent." Fights with native tribes, elephant and gorilla hunts, and many trophies put our heroes in peril again and again; find out how their trip concludes...and if they survive! 378 pages, cloth-bound hardcover, smyth-sewn binding, gold imprinted cover.

Please Note: Ballantyne sometimes describes events in a graphic manner. Parents may wish to preview.
