Description

NY 1978 Del Rey/Ballantine. First impression thus 12mo. 338pp. The Return of She (also released as: The Return of She: Ayesha). Paperback: Very Good (small mechanical hole-punchat front corner; light wear to extremities; very mild rubbing and faint soiling to wrapper covers; pages have tanned a bit with age; sticker residue at inside front cover); binding square and secure; text clean. No longer 'As New', but remains quite presentable. Second in the trilogy of "She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed". Still terrific, still imaginative and thrilling. How does Haggard do it? The scenes and images he conjures up. The cliff-hanging(literally), Perils of Pauline adventures just fascinate. And yet again, the battle between the spirit and flesh, the mortality and divinity, of man. In this one, however, it began to slow about two-thirds of the way throuugh, as if Haggard were stretching at times. But then he roused himself magnificently to a thrilling finish! The scene of Ayesha and her army riding across the plain to save Leo is the stuff of movies. It is no less a book than the first, which is unusual for sequels. This one takes place in Tibet, rather than Libya, and Haggard foresees the importance of radium.
