Allan Quatermain is the final adventure of that hero as penned by the magnificent H. Rider Haggard.The beginning may the best I've ever read.  Who else but Haggard would start a story with the death of the main character's only child.  There is an amazing battle as well.The middle dragged pretty heavily for me.  However, that was redeemed by a thrilling finale.  Umslopogaas is a character that reaches out and grabs you, and his finale suited him well.  I have to think he was one of Haggard's favorite characters.Grab the free Kindle version, and you won't regret it.
