About the Author

Sir Henry Rider Haggard, (1856-1925) commonly known as H. Rider Haggard was an English author active during the Victorian era. Considered a pioneer of the lost world genre, Haggard was known for his adventure fiction. His work often depicted African settings inspired by the seven years he lived in South Africa with his family. In 1880, Haggard married Marianna Louisa Margitson and together they had four children, one of which followed her father’s footsteps and became an author. Haggard is still widely read today, and is celebrated for his imaginative wit and impact on 19th century adventure literature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cracking Adventure

Wilbur Smith is a great African storyteller, but Henry Rider Haggard did it first.

"Child of Storm" is the second book of Haggard's Zululand trilogy, and I strongly suggest reading "Marie" first. If you skip both and read "Finished" first, you'll be hopelessly lost.

But "Child of Storm" is a cracking good Quatermain adventure, that catches our hero in his middle years. The title character is Mameena, a Zulu maid with a burning desire to be all she could be. Were she born a hundred years later, this femme fatale could have rocked the business and/or political world on her own, without having to rely on a mate to open doors for her.

She has looks, ambition, and the spark of intelligence needed to bring a man to the very top of the Zulu world, with "thousands of strong warriors sleeping on their spears waiting for your word", as she promises Allan. Can she pull it off, or will she bring men to death and dishonor? Read it... Wilbur Smith did!

I enjoyed the book. The price was right. The story was a bit moralizing and old fashioned but it held my interest.

2nd in the series with Marie being 1st, this one 2nd and Finished the 3rd. This was as good as Marie the 1st one of this African saga. Really well written and very good, could not put it down....hence a classic page turner. Allan Quatermain is certainly a very interesting character.

My 7th book by Haggard was not a disappointment. He writes as if creating a work of art. Let him lead your eyes around this canvas set in Africa complete with multi-dimensional characters who will both attract and repel. Be prepared for the depiction of tribal wisdom and folly sketched within and without.

You are drawn into life with the Zulus and the conflict between tribes. Plus a beautiful Zulu maiden and love affair with an Englishman add to the suspense.

Henry Haggard, author of KING SOLOMONS MINE is a largely forgotten writer and these are great stories in and of themselves and even greater if someone is interested in Africa.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 8, 2014

this is a very exciting book, I could hardly put it down! tragic but slightly bloodthirsty, this book is probably not ideal to read before bed. although a lot of the language was foreign, it was easy to understand what was being said. I think, however, that saduko's death at the end is very haunting and made me shiver! however, it is a good book despite a few shortcomings.
