☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Plunderer," Nyoka encounters a giant white hunter named Ong who has repeatedly struck in Kenya, most recently pursuing a golden statue that belongs to the natives. When a man named Bryan Drew attempts to steal the statue, Nyoka intervenes, and the natives agree to help fund a hospital with gold from the streams if Nyoka can recover it. Nyoka must contend with Drew and Ong's schemes to claim the statue while protecting the natives' rightful treasure.
When a rogue bull elephant terrorizes native villages, the legendary hunters pursuing him prove no match for the creature's fury—but Nyoka, Queen of the Jungle, suspects the animal's rage has a deeper cause. Working alone with native helpers, she devises a daring plan to capture and calm the beast, convinced she can transform a dangerous killer into a peaceful companion. In this tale of understanding where force has failed, Nyoka puts her faith in compassion and her intimate knowledge of the jungle's creatures.
Nyoka ventures deep into the Amazon's untamed wilderness, where the jungle itself poses as much a threat as the wild creatures that roam its flooded lowlands. This 1957 tale captures the raw danger of one of Earth's most impenetrable frontiers, where nature reclaims all who dare to challenge it.
Nyoka springs into action when a mysterious white giant known as Olnig steals gold meant for a local tribe's new hospital—and she discovers he's been raiding across East Africa for months. Setting herself up as bait with fabulous borrowed jewels, Nyoka lures the thief into the open, but Olnig turns the tables and takes her prisoner at his hidden cave stash. A loyal ally helps Nyoka turn the tables in this jungle tale of wit and determination.
Nyoka must stop the unscrupulous Bryan Drew from stealing a sacred golden statue from the native people of the African jungle—a treasure that's claimed countless would-be thieves before him. When Drew teams up with the ruthless Congo Charlie and forces a local guide to lead them to the shrine, Nyoka races to intercept them, only to discover that the ancient statue itself guards its greatest secret. A tale of greed, loyalty, and the jungle's own justice from the pages of Nyoka the Jungle Girl.
