The legendary adventurer Allan Quatermain finds himself embroiled in the Anglo-Zulu War in this adventure novel by the author of King Solomon’s Mines.

Explorer and big game hunter Allan Quatermain is on a shooting expedition in South Africa when he hears of unrest brewing between the Boers and the English. Sir Theophilus Shepstone is announcing his intention to annex the province of Transvaal for the British Empire—and the Boers are itching for a fight to keep it. But Quatermain soon realizes that something more sinister is happening in the veld.

The destruction of the Zulus is at hand, and behind it all is the wizard Zikali. Seeking vengeance against the royal Zulu House, Zikali sets the Zulu people against their former allies in a cataclysmic war. Following the novels Marie and Child of Storm, Finished is the thrilling conclusion of H. Rider Haggard’s Zulu Trilogy within his larger Allan Quatermain series.

Звесткі пра аўтара

H. Rider Haggard (1856–1925) was an English adventure novelist. Haggard studied law, but rather than pursuing a legal career took a secretarial position in what is now South Africa. His time there provided the inspiration for some of his most popular novels, including She (1887), an early classic of the lost world fantasy genre and one of the bestselling books of all time.
