The final novel in H. Rider Haggardâs much-anticipated trilogy, âAllan and the Ice Godsâ, sees the return of Allan Quatermain and features Lady Luna Ragnall and the taduki drug yet again.
This time, however, Allan is refusing to see Lady Luna Ragnall. The awkwardness of the last three drug-induced visions, revealing their marriage, left him squirming. But she is about to let spill that their ancient counterparts were right. And they were indeed married.
As Allan is yet again transported to the barbaric Ice Age, can he restore order in the tribe? And more importantly, can he weave in new technology and intelligence without unbalancing history? âAllan and the Ice Godsâ is the ideal rip-roaring tale, perfect for adventure-fantasy fans of Jack Blackâs âGulliverâs Travelsâ.
H. Rider Haggard KBE (1856-1925) was an English writer of adventure fiction romances and a pioneer of the lost world genre. His rip-roaring tales include âKing Solomonâs Minesâ, âAllan Quatermainâ, âNada the Lillyâ and the epic Viking romance âEric Brighteyesâ.
Portraying the stereotypes of colonialism, his work also focused on agricultural and social reform. Itâs no surprise that Haggard is remembered today as an influential figure in land reform throughout the British Empire.
