Synopsis

King Solomon’s Mines: Allan Quatermain tracks a missing adventurer last seen heading into the unexplored interior of remote Africa in a hunt for the fabled mines of King Solomon, the biblical king known for his wisdom. In a swashbuckling, Indiana Jones-style adventure, Allan sets out with the promise of a share in a treasure and departs with a map he’s never really taken seriously. His group style themselves "white men from the stars" – sorcerer-gods – and are brought before the violent ruler King Twala in one of the many adventures along their journey. (Published 1885)
