Book Description
As Paul O'Donnell stood by the rail of the ship that had bought him to Haiti, the tiny rowboat putting out from the shore was already carrying the first hints of the danger and tragedy lying in wait for him. Five minutes after landing he was enmeshed in a frightful web of political intrigue, formented by voodoo fanaticism and unscrupulous ambition, led by the hatred and ferocity of a beautiful and diabolic woman, and roused to bloody action by the throbbing jungle rhythm of the drums of Drambala, the voodoo Snake-God. He, the white man, seeking a brother lost years ago in the revolution that had freed the Negroes, and Toussaint L'Ouverture, the black Napoleon struggling to maintain his precarious hold on power, fight side by side against treachery, revolt, and massacre, in a story whose breathless action is set against a savage and entralling background.
