A penniless British adventurer seeks untold wealth in the wilds of the "Dark Continent" after losing his family lands and estates in this thrilling novel of romance, adventure, and lost peoples. An intensely engrossing tale.

An African fantasy of adventure and the supernatural by the author of King Solomon's Mines.

Three Englishmen, marooned on a mysterious South Sea island, learn of the islanders' powerful god Oro, who has been sleeping for 250,000 years. They manage to wake him, along with his beautiful daughter, who is the spitting image of the hero's dead wife, while he is a ringer for her lost love. Other residents of an ancient Atlantean civilization are also returned to life in this tale of spirit travel, reincarnation, occult powers, teleportation, a subterranean city, the elixir of life, and considerable mythic depth.

This supernatural love story features a device that induces telepathy between sympathetic parties and ultimately leads to communication with the dead. The characters' troubles and turmoils parallel the author's actual experiences, this being the most autobiographical of his novels, with many deeply personal passages.
