Child of Storm is an adventure novel written by H. Rider Haggard, first published in 1913. It is the fourth book in the Allan Quatermain series and follows the adventures of the titular character, Allan Quatermain, as he travels to South Africa to help his friend, Sir Henry Curtis, find his missing wife. Along the way, Quatermain encounters a young Zulu warrior named Umslopogaas, who becomes his ally in the search. Together, they face numerous dangers and obstacles, including hostile tribes, wild animals, and treacherous terrain. As they journey deeper into the heart of Africa, they uncover a conspiracy to overthrow the Zulu king and must fight to protect him and his kingdom. The novel is filled with action, suspense, and vivid descriptions of African landscapes and cultures. It also explores themes of loyalty, honor, and the clash of civilizations.Whatever else may have been false in this man's nature, one thing rang true, namely, his love or his infatuation for the girl Mameena. Throughout his life she was his guiding star--about as evil a star as could have arisen upon any man's horizon; the fatal star that was to light him down to doom. Let me thank Providence, as I do, that I was so fortunate as to escape its baneful influences, although I admit that they attracted me not a little.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
