The Real Adventure Book

I really enjoyed this - it was full of Haggard-y goodness. It is a story of heroic proportions with Rachel Dove mistaken for a white goddess by the Zulu people. They'd like her to stay with them always, for good fortune. She, luckily, has a fair share of smarts, intuition, and Scottish psychic powers to allow her to occasionally read the future. These qualities and the help of heroic Richard (also drop dead handsome, so its a nice package) may help her to escape with her life. Unfortunately, Rachel must also thwart evil Ishmael's plans to force her to marry him. Haggard explains Ishmael's personality with one of the best summaries of the evils of not correcting spoiled children I've ever read.

It was a cracking good adventure. However, it was no People of the Mist, which remains my favorite. I miss Otter, who was such a great heroic sidekick, and Ishmael, while clearly nutso, is no match for Soa's batshit craziness.
