If H. Rider Haggard - one of the greatest adventure writers of all
time - is remembered now, it is for his novels featuring Allan
Quatermain, a heroic adventurer whose exploits in Africa form the
most important sequence of Haggard's books. Quatermain's adventures
are chronicled in such novels as King Solomon's Mines, Allan
Quaterman, She, and 11 others. In When the World Shook, Haggard
takes his popular formula for Victorian adventure fiction into the
contemporary world, with this tale of three modern-day English
adventurers who find an ancient god (complete with beautiful
daughter) asleep beneath a South Seas volcano...Written late in his
life, When the World Shook is perhaps the most current of all of
Haggard's novels; it features many contemporary inventions, from
aeroplanes to cameras, as well as Haggard's trademark gripping
storytelling and likeable, sympathetic characters. His tales remain
powerfully in the memory... - The Encyclopedia of Fantasy.
