The Lad and the Lion
by Edgar Rice Burroughs
The madman turned his full attention to the young man standing on the tracks of an abandoned ship and unaware of its extreme danger. Like a predatory monster, the old man sneaked into his supposed victim... In a distant European kingdom, conspirators set out to kill the old king and his young heir, Michael. But the boy escaped, and through a series of terrible, heart-stopping adventures that only Edgar Rice Burroughs could write, he found himself on the shores of Africa, the sole companion and protector of a giant wild cat. Then, one day, Michael and his faithful friend come face to face with the deadliest enemy of all.
