Few can live in the Black Jungle, a desolate place teeming with
wild dangerous beasts. Yet it is among its dark forests and bamboo
groves that the renowned hunter Tremal-Naik makes his home. For
years he has lived there in peace, quietly going about his trade
until, one night, a strange apparition appears before him - a
beautiful young woman that vanishes in an instant. Within days,
strange music is heard in the jungle then one of his men is found
dead without a mark upon his body. Determined to get some answers,
the hunter sets off with his faithful servant Kammamuri, but as
they head deeper into the jungles of the Sundarbans, they soon find
their own lives at risk; a deadly new foe has been watching their
every move, a foe that threatens all of British India. Part of a
series of adventures that includes: Sandokan: The Tigers of
Mompracem and Sandokan: The Pirates of Malaysia.
Emilio Salgari's masterpiece, a swashbuckling revenge novel set in
the Caribbean; one of the world's first pirate classics. An Italian
nobleman turns pirate to avenge the murder of his brothers. His
foe: an old Flemish army officer named Van Guld, now the Governor
of Maracaibo. The Corsair is relentless, vowing never to rest until
he has killed the traitor and all those that bear his name. To help
him in his quest, the Black Corsair enlists the greatest pirates of
his time: L'Ollonais, Michael the Basque, and a young Welshman
named Henry Morgan...
India, 1857. Just when Tremal-Naik's life was getting back to
normal, the Thugs of the Kali cult return to exact their revenge by
kidnapping his daughter Darma. Summoned by Kammamuri, Sandokan and
Yanez immediately set sail for India to help their loyal friend.
But the evil sect knows of their arrival and thwarts them at every
turn. Have our heroes finally met their match? It's the Tiger of
Malaysia versus the Tiger of India in a fight to the death!
The Tiger faces the Empire! Malaysia, 1868. A mysterious figure has
armed the Dyaks and led them into battle against Tremal-Naik. Yanez
races to the rescue but soon learns that Sandokan and his Tigers
are also under threat. Despite eleven years of peace, the new Rajah
of Sarawak, James Brooke's nephew, has ordered the pirates to leave
their island home or face all out war. Is this the end for the
Tigers of Mompracem?
The Tigers of Mompracem are a band of rebel pirates fighting
against the colonial power of the Dutch and British Empires. They
are lead by Sandokan, the indomitable Tiger of Malaysia, and Yanez
de Gomera, a Portuguese wanderer and adventurer. After twelve years
of spilling blood and spreading terror throughout Malaysia,
Sandokan has reached the height of his power, but when the pirate
learns of the existence of the Pearl of Labuan, his fortunes begin
to change...
The Tiger Roars again! Sandokan and Yanez are back, righting
injustices and fighting old foes. Tremal-Naik's misfortunes have
continued. Wrongfully imprisoned, the great hunter has been
banished from India and sentenced to life in a penal colony.
Knowing his master is innocent, Kammamuri dashes off to the rescue,
planning to free the good hunter at the first opportunity. When the
ever-loyal servant is captured by the Tigers of Mompracem, he
manages to enlist their services. But in order to succeed, Sandokan
and Yanez must lead their men against the forces of James Brooke,
'The Exterminator', the dreaded White Rajah of Sarawak.
