DEATH IN ZULULAND When all the villagers of several veldt kraals mysteriously go missing, Allan Quatermain finds himself embroiled in one of his most baffling African adventures. Whispers among the Zulus claim weird beast men, half-human and half-cat, are responsible for the abductions. Quatermain and his companion Mnqoba begin their investigation skeptical of the rumors but at the same time baffled by the unexplained disappearances of so many so quickly. Their mission leads them to a ranch owned by British Doctor Emerson Blake and his late partner's beautiful widow, Emma. Both scoff at the stories of the beast men and do their best to convince the famous hunter that there must be a logical explanation. Quatermain is almost won over when, after a new attack by the creatures, Mnqoba is counted among the missing. Now he must confront the reality; someone or something has brought death to Zululand? Writer Wayne Carey whips up a thrilling old-fashioned adventure yarn featuring one of the most endearing heroes in all of literature. “Allan Quatermain & the Beast Men,” is pure pulp action from start to finish.
