Allan and the Holy Flower' tells the tale of Haggard's glorious adventure hero Allan Quatermain. Allan receives a flower from Brother John and is ready to travel to Britain and meet with an orchid collector. Back in England, the collector tells him that he is ready to finance an expedition to find out more about this holy flower. What follows is a series of perilous adventures and close encounters with the local wildlife infused with Haggard's trademark razor-sharp wit. Many readers will be reminded of George Lucas' Indiana Jones while reading Quatermain's adventures. Compelling and highly entertaining, 'Allan and the Holy Flower' is a perfect continuation to Allan's adventures in Africa.
