COVER TEXT:
"Death will come
to me as to every man, but until that moment I will live as if I were
the strongest of all living things".
He is James
Cloamby, Viscount Grandrith. The one and only. The white monkey of the
jungle. Slayer of wild beasts and righter of wrongs. Last of the wild
men. Lord of the trees. Pristine spirit of darkest Africa. Member of
the House of Lords and one of the wealthiest men in the world.
30,000
years ago some Stone Age people discovered the elixir of life. Unless
they met with disaster, they lived for centuries. Going back to his
roots in the Gabon the Lord of the Trees is rudely intercepted. A
1200-foot plunge into shark-infested seas and a bloody rendezvous with
jungle mercenaries gives him a taste for adventure again - which is
just as well. For the Lord of the Trees has fallen into the grip of the
Nine, grim and ancient rulers who control the world from distant
mansions...
