Amazon Nights

When one thinks of the classic adventure-story authors of the pulp fiction era, H.

Rider Haggard, Talbot Mundy and Rafael Sabatini may come first to mind.

But Arthur O. Friel's stellar contributions - particularly his stories featuring Lourenco and Pedro, two workers on a rubber-tree plantation in the Amazon Jungle.

Their adventures in the Amazon's mysterious back-country certainly deserve honorable mention.

Here are tales of peril and last-minute rescue, brutal savages and men of honor, snake-worshipping armies and half-ape Lost Races - and many more!

For in the shadows of the rain-forest, many evils lurk...human and otherwise!

This work features a new introduction by Darrell Schweitzer, eight short stories and "The Jararaca", a complete novel.
