Now I, Allan Quatermain, come to the weirdest (with one or two exceptions perhaps) of all the experiences which it has amused me to employ my idle hours in recording here in a strange land, for after all England is strange to me. I grow elderly. I have, as I suppose, passed the period of enterprise and adventure and I should be well satisfied with the lot that Fate has given to my unworthy self.

Rider Haggard wrote that treats of the adventures of Allan Quatermain, our hero--through the use of the inhaled Taduki drug--views one of his previous incarnations. During that lifetime he was Shabaka, in the age when Egypt had been conquered by the Persians. This book is a direct continuation of the previous Quatermain novel, "The Ivory Child" (which itself is a continuation of "Allan and the Holy Flower"), and a reading of that previous novel is fairly essential when going into this book. Lady Ragnall returns in this one, and shares Quatermain's drug-induced vision. While not as battle intensive as other books in the series, this novel is always interesting, and does feature, amongst other things, a lion hunt, a blind wizard in a cave, a visit to Ethiopia, a fight with a crocodile, and a rousing climactic battle between the forces of the Persians and the allied Egyptian/Ethiopian armies. And for fans of Hans, Quatermain's Hottentot sidekick, there is a previous incarnation of that great character, as well. It's all fascinating and exciting stuff; never a dull moment, and all that. So seek this one out...you won't be disappointed!

There is less action, not to say not any, especially toward the end with the battle with the Persians, the usual gripping desperate battle against great odds, usual for Haggard but not routine.This is a continuation in a sense from "The Ivory Child" but Haggard fills you in on what went before but if you are really that hung up, You might want to go back to the first book in chronological order. While I say that with some element of sarcasm, it wouldn't be a bad idea. The reincarnation element is something I cannot believe in philosophically, It has, however, been the basis of many excellent fantasy lost race, lost city novels. It shows the ability of good writers to suspend our natural beliefs for the sake of a rip roaring adventure.What I liked about this novel is Haggard's creation of characters I could really care about and being transported to a different, interesting and exciting world.

I thought this book was really dull and slow compared to other Haggard books I've read. Like another reviewer mentioned, it's pretty much essential to read 'Ivory Child' (which I really enjoyed) first to get an idea of what is happening.Allan sees himself as 2000 years ago as an Egyptian. That's about all the plot there is that I care to go in to . The rest was really a disappointment.
