Wild Boy of the Congo #15
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSumi tells Joe the story of two brothers blown off course during a fishing trip who discover a mysterious island inhabited by natives who worship a volcanic god called Walla-Habi. Two white men later arrive and convince the brothers to help retrieve gold hidden in the volcano's cave as part of an annual monsoon ritual. The brothers escape with a large boat to reach the strange island, but encounter Arabs who capture Wild Boy and enslave him with shackles. Wild Boy breaks free with help from a panther named Daro and uses an elephant to assist him, while a hunter named Hodges pursues him; the story culminates in a confrontation where the hunters attempt to shoot a lion to prove their prowess, only to have Wild Boy intervene to save the animal.
When Chief Jaru's son Lago refuses to join a dangerous hunt, he's cast out from his tribe in disgrace—but Wild Boy finds him caught in a snare and offers him something more valuable than quick redemption: training. As Lago learns to master his fear and develop real courage under Wild Boy's guidance, he'll face a test far greater than any hunt when treachery threatens his father's life back in the village. The White Robe of Courage is a tale of a young man discovering that true bravery isn't the absence of fear, but the strength to act despite it.
Joe Barton investigates a mystery of missing gold and sacred "winged gods" when a frightened native named Subi seeks his help in an Indonesian port, setting him on a collision course with dangerous men and dark secrets hidden beneath the Walla-Habi volcano. Racing against time and sinister forces, Joe must uncover the truth behind the island's deadly taboo before the conspiracy claims another victim. What he discovers in the volcano's grotto will test his wits against enemies far more ruthless than any legend.
