“She began to move warily in a circle as the men tightened the trap, and as they got closer the lioness began to stride and prowl in a circle so small that she almost seemed to be chasing her tail. But she was watching, watching while she turned and snarled, for a weakness in the ever-tightening ring of her pursuers. Then, at the moment the attack finally was sounded--when the men, putting down their drums and torches, charged on the run with their spears--the lioness saw what she was looking for. One of her enemies was smaller, weaker than the rest. There was a point in the strengthening line that could be broken! Thought merged with furious action and the beast, with a mighty bound of astonishing swiftness, darted toward Zan. Five hundred pounds of snarling fury sprang directly at him with claws bared and fanged mouth open!”
Zan-Gah: A Prehistoric Adventure
has hardly started. A bad conscience and concern for Dael, his missing
brother, cause Zan to begin a search which will lead him to captivity,
conflict, love, and victory. In a time of war, the hero goes from an
uncertain boyhood to a tried and proven manhood, and a role of
leadership among his people.
