☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeNyoka the Jungle Girl faces "The Sinister Jungle Myth," a multi-chapter adventure in which she encounters a mysterious winged creature terrorizing the jungle. After narrowly escaping a ferocious tiger and a villainous gunman named Degreey, Nyoka is pursued by various threats while being drawn into a dangerous situation involving a man named Robert Murdock and a meeting at the Waterings Place of Gundoonga. The story involves encounters with hostile gorillas, mysterious horned creatures, and revelations about false messages and hidden truths surrounding the jungle's dangers.
Nyoka faces a crisis when rival guide Degresy accuses her of breaking the hunting code by wantonly killing jungle animals—a charge that threatens her reputation and license. When a painter named Pierre Pastel bursts into her hotel with hair turned white from fright, he brings a painting of a massive, winged creature he encountered in the jungle, one that matches the description of a griffin from mythology. Now Nyoka must determine whether the legendary beast is real or merely fable, and prove her innocence before her twenty-four-hour deadline expires.
Nyoka pursues the griffins that have abducted Pierre into a treacherous jungle valley, descending into their hidden lair to mount a desperate rescue. Racing against time as the creatures begin to wake, she must use her wits and nerve to save both Pierre and Degreey before facing off against the monsters themselves. This chapter brings the sinister myth to a head as Nyoka confronts the source of the valley's dangers.
When radio broadcasters Hilary Prescott and her fiancé Robert Murdock venture into the jungle to capture an authentic transmission of the Gundoonga dance for listeners worldwide, they're counting on Jo-Jo to guide them safely through dangerous territory. But a saboteur has intercepted their message to the jungle king, leaving Hilary and her team stranded and at the mercy of hostile natives—with Jo-Jo unaware of their peril and caught in a deadly gauntlet of his own. As the first live jungle broadcast unfolds in startling fashion, Jo-Jo must uncover the betrayal threatening everything before it's too late.
