The majority of his works have exotic settings, primarily Africa, and he was an extremely prolific writer, producing over fifty novels, three short story collections and a number of non-fiction works and works published in periodicals. His works have been adapted for screen many times. 16 pages of publisher's advertisements to the rear. In the publisher's original cloth binding.
