Rider Haggard is a historical novel set in the late 19th century, continuing the adventure of Allan Quatermain, a character previously introduced in Haggard's earlier works. The book serves as the third part of a trilogy that includes "Marie" and "Child of Storm." The narrative follows Quatermain as he navigates the political tensions of the Zulu War and grapples with themes of vengeance and destiny in his interactions with powerful figures like the wizard Zikali and King Cetewayo, along with modern characters like Maurice Anscombe. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the historical backdrop of the events leading to the Zulu War, highlighting Quatermain's perspective on the annexation of the Transvaal. The opening chapters present a lively encounter between Quatermain and various characters, including Anscombe, who becomes his companion on a buffalo hunt. However, their adventure quickly spirals into danger as they face ambushes and conflicts with the Basutos, forcing them to seek refuge with Marnham, a man with a mysterious past. The tension between colonial forces and indigenous populations unfolds, foreshadowing the tribal complexities and personal struggles that will drive the plot forward.
