☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThree escaped convicts fleeing through the Congo jungle kill animals for sport and hunt a mysterious treasure, prompting Thun'da to pursue them. Edwards, one of the convicts, plans to use a woman as a hostage to force Thun'da to reveal the location of the hidden treasure of Lobengula, but Thun'da pursues the criminals through the jungle to stop them.
When the jungles of the Congo face aerial raids by gaunt hunting birds led by warrior women, Thun'da answers the desperate call of the terrorized tribes. The jungle king must track the mysterious bird-women to their mountain stronghold and confront the legendary creature they serve—all while navigating the dangerous politics of their sky-bound civilization. Will Thun'da survive trials of strength and cunning to end the reign of these flying devils?
When a plane carrying a valuable atomic secret crashes in the dense Ituri jungle, Thun'da is sent to retrieve the survivor—a man named Elwin White who the pygmies have mistaken for their god Muungu. As White's madness deepens and he claims divine authority over the little people, Thun'da must navigate deadly jungle perils and the pygmies' newfound hostility to locate him before the formula is lost forever.
Three ruthless escaped convicts—a knife-thrower, an archer, and a lasso expert—flee into the untamed Dawn World, killing indiscriminately for sport and greed. When Cave Girl discovers they're after gold and threaten to destroy her jungle home, she must use her wits and knowledge of the wild terrain to stop Italo, Utah Smith, and the third killer before they claim both treasure and her life.
A killer from Capetown arrives in the Congo with an ancient map to Lobengula's lost treasure—but to claim the riches, he kidnaps Pha, forcing Thun'da into a desperate pursuit through uncharted jungle. Trapped between the Bwakka raiders, cunning traps, and the jungle's own wrath, the Jungle King must navigate deadly obstacles to save his woman and stop a thief whose greed may cost him everything. In this tale of obsession and consequence, the wilderness proves to be the ultimate judge.
