Amazon Nights

Classic Adventure Tales from the Pulps

By: Arthur O. Friel

Narrated by: Tony Scheinman

When one thinks of the classic adventure-story authors of the pulp fiction era, H. Rider Haggard, Talbot Mundy, and Rafael Sabatini may come first to mind. But Arthur O. Friel's stellar contributions - particularly his stories featuring Lourenco and Pedro, two workers on a rubber-tree plantation in the Amazon Jungle. Their adventures in the Amazon's mysterious back-country certainly deserve honorable mention. Here are tales of peril and last-minute rescue, brutal savages and men of honor, snake-worshipping armies and half-ape Lost Races-and many more! For in the shadows of the rain-forest, many evils lurk... human and otherwise! Features a new introduction by Darrell Schweitzer, eight short stories, and The Jararaca, a complete novel.

Pretty great stuff

I’m going to miss Lourenço and Pedro. At first I thought the narrator made a grave mistake adopting an accent and an almost whispering delivery, but it was perfect.

Great stories

A great collection of adventure stories following two rubber workers in South America. If you enjoy action packed adventures these are good stories for you
