The Great White Queen

Gelesen von Tom Weiss

(4,444 Sterne; 117 Bewertungen)

How to describe this book? In a word – savage. For those regular LibriVox Le Queux mystery listeners, this book is a step in a different direction by the author. The book starts out like most Le Queux. Our hero, Richard Scarsmere, befriends an individual (Omar) at an English boarding school who turns out to be an African prince from a kingdom called Mo. Omar receives a visit from one of his mother’s trusted advisers. His mother, the Great White Queen, seeks him to return home immediately. Omar convinces Scarsmere to return to Africa with him since there is little opportunity awaiting him in London. What follows is a tale of deceit, treachery, barbarity, and mystery.

Well read as always. A lengthy storybook taking the reader trough upper British schooling to over sea to mid Africa around the time of the Reign of Queen Victoria. An adventure with peril, and narrow escapes in the Classic story genre, heroes heroines and more... Enjoyable!

(5 Sterne)

The story is good. The reader is excellent. You should be aware that advertising at the end of each chapter is extremely loud and almost not worth the fair trade of listening to ad's in exchange for free content.

(5 Sterne)

Wrapped up nicely with just enough open endedness to not be fairy tale happy. African Adventure at its finest. As usual, Tom did an excellent job reading

If you like H Ryder Haggard
