When one thinks of the classic adventure-story authors of the pulp
fiction era, H. Rider Haggard, Talbot Mundy, and Rafael Sabatini
may come first to mind. But Arthur O. Friel's stellar contributions
-- particularly his stories featuring Lourenco and Pedro, two
workers on a rubber-tree plantation in the Amazon Jungle. Their
adventures in the Amazon's mysterious back-country certainly
deserve honorable mention. Here are tales of peril and last-minute
rescue, brutal savages and men of honor, snake-worshipping armies
and half-ape Lost Races-and many more! For in the shadows of the
rain-forest, many evils lurk . . . human and otherwise! Features a
new introduction by Darrell Schweitzer, eight short stories, and
The Jararaca, a complete novel.

Volume 2 presents the second ten adventures of Friel's Amazon
rubber industry workers, Pedro and Lourenco, as they encounter
strange characters and perilous situations in the unexplored Amazon
jungle. Whether battling headhunters, or being turned into sex
slaves by a tribe of wild women, the atmosphere is steamy and the
suspense unrelenting. From the great pulp magazine, Adventure
(1920-21).
Arthur O. Friel's tales of the unexplored Amazon jungle made him
one of the pulp magazine Adventure's most popular authors. This

engrossing, suspenseful, and often violent, stories follow two
rubber industry workers as they venture into the wildest, most
inhospitable jungles on Earth. This is pulp adventure at its best.

enigmatic real-life explorer, and the roots of his Amazon stories.
