Pelée, and Katmai, chronicling their devastating effects across centuries; and "Joe Barton in the Jungle Drum" follows an adventurer guiding a party through gorilla country in the Congo, where he must protect them from savage threats while navigating the dangerous jungle terrain.
Wild Boy and his friend Keeto find themselves caught between tribal politics and jungle fury when the scheming witch doctor Zabba uses stolen goods and a captured gorilla to sow violence in Chief Kambala's village. As Zabba's maddened beast runs amok and threatens the chief and his daughter Lura, Wild Boy must fight for survival while the true leader of the gorilla tribe, Aarg, races to aid his jungle ally. Peace in the lost city hangs by a thread as Wild Boy battles to expose the witch doctor's treachery before darkness falls.
Over two thousand volcanic eruptions have scarred the Earth since recorded history began, from the catastrophic burial of Pompeii by Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. to the sudden, dramatic birth of a new volcano in Paracutin, Mexico in 1943. This fact-filled account explores the planet's most destructive volcanic moments, tracing how nature's raw power has shaped our world across millennia.
Joe Barton, an experienced jungle guide, agrees to lead Mr. Parmalee, his daughter Nan, and her fiancé Cecil Hathaway on a gorilla hunt in the Congo—but Hathaway's arrogance and contempt for both the guide and the local Bengali tribe quickly puts the entire party in danger. When the Bengali demand payment and Hathaway refuses, the safari finds itself surrounded and facing impossible choices, forcing Joe to devise a plan that will expose Hathaway's true character and determine everyone's fate in the unforgiving jungle.
