| Summary | "The Fugitives: The Tyrant Queen of Madagascar" by R. M. Ballantyne is an adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a group of characters stranded on the island of Madagascar who seek to find civilization amidst political turmoil and persecution. The main characters, including young doctor Mark Breezy and his companions—the sailor Hockins and the negro cook James Ginger, nicknamed Ebony—face challenges from the oppressive queen who persecutes Christians, which ultimately leads them into a struggle for survival. At the start of the book, the three protagonists escape from native pursuers after landing on the island, setting the stage for a journey filled with peril and discovery. The opening reveals their desperate situation as they navigate a daunting landscape, narrowly escaping danger as they seek refuge. They encounter various hardships, including the loss of provisions, treacherous terrain, and the constant threat of being discovered by the natives. The initial chapters introduce themes of friendship, loyalty, and daring adventure while foreshadowing the socio-political elements tied to the tyrannical rule of Queen Ranavalona, whose brutal regime instigates the tumultuous events that unfold in their quest for survival.
