The Tiger of Malaysia is going home.
Thirty years after he was driven from his homeland, Sandokan has fought pirates, empires, assassins, and armies across the seas of Asia. But one debt remains unpaid.
Long before he became the legendary Tiger of Malaysia, Sandokan was a prince of Kini Balù. His family was slaughtered, his throne stolen, and his kingdom lost. Now, with his old companions Yanez, Tremal-Naik, and Kammamuri at his side, Sandokan returns to Borneo to take back what was once his.
The road to Kini Balù leads through a deadly jungle of hostile warriors, wild beasts, ambushes, and betrayal. And waiting for Sandokan is an enemy he believed dead: the vengeful Greek adventurer Teotokris, determined to destroy the Tigers of Mompracem once and for all.
First published in 1907, Sandokan Strikes Back (Sandokan alla riscossa) is the seventh novel in Emilio Salgari’s celebrated Sandokan cycle. Combining exotic adventure, breakneck action, friendship, revenge, and the struggle against colonial power, it brings Salgari’s great pirate hero face to face with the tragedy that set his entire life in motion.
This Gradient Books edition brings a classic of Italian adventure fiction to a new generation of English-language readers.
