When one thinks of the classic adventure-story authors of the pulp fictionera, H. Rider Haggard, Talbot Mundy and Rafael Sabatini may come first to mind.But Arthur O. Friel's stellar contributions -- particularly his storiesfeaturing Lourenco and Pedro, two workers on a rubber-tree plantation in theAmazon Jungle. Their adventures in the Amazon's mysterious back-countrycertainly deserve honorable mention. Here are tales of peril and last-minuterescue, brutal savages and men of honor, snake-worshipping armies and half-apeLost Races-and many more! For in the shadows of the rain-forest, many evilslurk... human and otherwise! Features a new introduction by Darrell Schweitzer, eight short stories and The Jararaca, a complete novel.
