☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis is an anthology issue containing at least two stories. In the main "Nyoka" story, Nyoka of the Jungle must stop rival tribal chiefs from fighting by finding and returning a sacred golden spear that was stolen long ago by white raiders, brokering peace between the warring tribes. "Smala Defeat" is a text story about Colonel Jacques Bon-Coeur of the French Foreign Legion investigating weapons smuggling in Morocco, where he discovers that Smala tribesmen have raided a city and fled to the desert, leading him to organize a swift military response to recover evidence of the modern weapons being distributed to the natives.
Nyoka discovers that the ruthless ivory trader M'sieu Dumort has captured Ngali, the elephant tribal chief, and is demanding one hundred prime tusks as ransom—a price that would require devastating the sacred elephant boneyard where the jungle giants go to die. When Dumort dismisses the natives' warnings and pushes deeper into the swamps to plunder even more ivory, he finds himself facing far more than he bargained for.
Hill tribes raid peaceful villages across the jungle, and Nyoka must uncover the cause of the conflict before more blood is shed. When she discovers that Basil Wilson has been caught up in a scheme involving a sacred golden spear, she races against time to prevent all-out war between the rival chiefs. With her quick thinking and courage, Nyoka finds a way to restore peace to the valley—and ensure that those responsible face justice.
When a scientist's safari is mysteriously attacked by an unprecedented pack of leopards, Nyoka suspects something far more sinister than nature is at work—and her suspicions lead her straight to Hendrik DeVree, a dangerous trader with gold fever and a crew of disguised Leopard Men. As Nyoka races to protect the professor and uncover DeVree's scheme, she discovers that an act of jungle kindness may be the key to turning the tables on the would-be thieves.
When Cecil Hardy-Smith and Robert Waring set out on a lion hunt in the African jungle with Nyoka as their guide, their confidence in modern rifles and a specially equipped sedan quickly meets its match. What begins as a comfortable safari turns into a desperate scramble when a wounded lion charges their vehicle, forcing the hunters to call on Nyoka's quick thinking and jungle savvy to turn the tables.
Royce Walker, an unscrupulous actor on location in Tibet, manipulates a local guide into leading him to the forbidden Temple of Taleeka, where he brazenly photographs the sacred shrine and its high priestess despite her dire warnings. After escaping with his precious film, Walker returns to his ship convinced his fortune is made—until he discovers his photographs are blank, and the priestess's curse begins to manifest in terrifying visions that force him to relive the crimes of his past movie roles with increasingly real and devastating consequences.
