Jungle Girl (The Land of Hidden Men)
Adventure in the lost city of a secret kingdom. Even today, Asia, vast
continent of ancient civilizations and mysterious peoples, has many corners
little known to the rest of the world. Gordon King, a daring young American
explorer, stumbles upon the thousands year-old secret of THE LAND OF HIDDEN
MEN. The dangers he has to face, his rescue of a jungle princess and his
combat against the warriors of the lost city of Pnom Dhek are thrilling
as told by the last exciting line. "There are other things deep in the
jungle, my lord, that no man may look upon and live." Within the dark shadows
of the jungle the ruins of their cities still stand, and down the dark
aisles of the forest pass the ancient kings and warriors and little sad-faced
queens on ghostly elephants. We might escape My Lord the Tiger and the
wild elephants, but no man may look upon the ghost of the dead Khmers and
live. But Gordon King, child of the twentieth century, was not to be frightened
away by what seemed foolish superstition. The young American was soon to
find what a courageous man might easily enter the treacherous depths of
the jungle, but it was quite another matter as to weather he might ever
come out again, alive.
