Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronologically, this is the fourteenth and final Allan Quatermain novel published, although the events of the novel Allan Quatermain occur after it. It also the final Allan Quatermain novel in the trilogy involving the taduki drug and Lady Luna Ragnall, following The Ivory Child, and The Ancient Allan. Allan Quatermain, feeling awkward toward Lady Luna Ragnall after their recent taduki-induced vision in The Ancient Allan, in which they were nearly married, refuses three invitations from Lady Ragnall to return for another vision and has vowed never to use the drug again. Lady Ragnall herself informs Allan that she has used the taduki once more and discovered that their ancient counterparts, Amada and Shabaka, were indeed married. Allan reads in the newspaper that Lady Ragnall has traveled to Egypt for the winter. Six weeks or so later, Allan has a psychic experience and later learns that Lady Ragnall had died of heart failure at that moment at the site of her husband's grave in the Temple of Isis. Allan inherits her estate, coveted by Lord Ragnall's next-of-kin, Mr. Atterby-Smith. He distributes it to charities except for a box containing the taduki drug which Lady Ragnall had left him. He is tempted to break his vow and use it, but finally resolves not to when his friend, Captain John Good, calls on him. Good is able to persuade Allan to use the drug and the two enter into their vision. Allan awakens as Wi, an civilized man living in the barbaric ice age. He belongs to a culture that reveres a man and mammoth frozen in ice as their gods. Wi challenges and kills his chief Henga and institutes reforms in the tribe: monogamy, decision by council, the use of new technology, etc. His friend Pag, an outcast, rises in power in the tribe and is able to stop a pack of wolves from attacking. Wi and Pag travel into the wilderness to fight off a saber-toothed tiger and discover a beautiful young woman, unconscious, in a canoe. Wi falls in love with Laleela, as does Wi's friend Moananga. Most of the tribe regards her as a witch and Wi's wife Aaka wishes for her to be killed. Pag convinces Wi that he must marry Laleela in order to protect her, but Wi realizes this will break the oath of monogamy he has imposed upon the tribe. A tribe of red-bearded warriors attacks; Wi also battles the aurochs. When he rejects the ice-gods the tribe demands someone from his house be sacrificed to them and so Wi offers himself as sacrifice. Before the sacrifice takes place, the ice-gods are thawed. The ice age is ending. Wi and his companions leave the tribe and sail south but are caught in the rapids. It is at this point that Allan and Good awaken. Allan and Good discuss their adventure. They determine that Good was Moananga, Laleela was Luna Ragnall, and Allan's sometime companion Hans was the outcast Pag. Allan surmises that they are not actually experiencing past lives, but that the taduki drug has "the power of awakening the ancestral memory which has come down to us with our spark of life through scores of intervening forefathers." He also guesses that Wi and his companions dwelt in ice age Scotland, 500,000 or 50,000 years ago, and that Laleela came from southern Ireland or northern France

Book excerpt: We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive classic literature collection. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts, We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. Also in books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy. We use state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.Had I the slightest qualification for the task, I, Allan Quatermain, would like to write an essay on Temptation.This, of course, comes to all, in one shape or another, or at any rate to most, for there are some people so colourless, so invertebrate that they cannot be tempted-or perhaps the subtle powers which surround and direct, or misdirect, us do not think them worth an effort. These cling to any conditions, moral or material, in which they may find themselves, like limpets to a rock; or perhaps float along the stream of circumstance like jellyfish, making no effort to find a path for themselves in either case, and therefore die as they have lived-quite good because nothing has ever moved them to be otherwise-the objects of the approbation of the world, and, let us hope, of Heaven also.

I, who am but a simple old fellow, take another view, which, at any rate, is hallowed by many centuries of human opinion.
