COVER
TEXT:
They were known simply as the Nine - grim and ancient rulers who,
thirty thousand years ago, had discovered the key to eternal life, and
ever since had secretly held the world in thrall.
Doc Caliban had once been their servant. Now, appalled by their
tyranny, he has turned against them. Together with two henchmen,
Caliban sets out on the trail of the deadliest of the Nine: the mad
goblin Iwaldi, the very incarnation of evil...
James Cloamby, Viscount Grandrith, is the last of the wild men. Slayer
of beasts, righter of wrongs, the white monkey of the jungle, he is the
last great adventurer. And all his spirit is needed when he travels to
the Gabon. For the Lord of the Trees falls into the dark clutches of
the sinister Nine. They control the world from distant mansions. They
will live forever - unless they meet with disaster...
