Gradient Books › First English Editions › Sandokan
Yanez de Gomera has lost his capital, his army is scattered, and the throne of Assam is once again in the hands of his enemy. But the White Maharajah is not finished yet—and neither is his oldest friend.
From far-off Mompracem comes Sandokan, the Tiger of Malaysia, leading a handpicked force of Malays and Dayaks through the jungles of India. With elephants, horses, machine guns, and the same reckless courage that carried them through a lifetime of adventures, the old comrades prepare to make their final stand against Sindhia and the army that has seized Yanez's kingdom.
While Sandokan fights his way toward the besieged Yanez, Kammamuri and his companions undertake a desperate journey to summon the mountain warriors still loyal to the rightful rulers of Assam. Ambushes, sieges, jungle pursuits, treachery, and extraordinary stratagems follow as the struggle builds toward a final battle for the throne.
First published in 1913, Yanez's Revenge is the concluding novel of Emilio Salgari's celebrated Sandokan saga. Bringing together Yanez, Sandokan, Surama, Tremal-Naik, Kammamuri, and the Tigers of Mompracem for one last campaign, it delivers a fittingly extravagant finale to one of the great adventure series of Italian popular literature.
Elephants charge beneath machine-gun fire. Armies clash in the jungles of Assam. Old enemies settle their accounts. And after years of exile, conquest, loss, and return, the fate of Yanez's kingdom will finally be decided.
This Gradient Books edition brings Salgari's classic adventure to a new generation of English-language readers.
