Summary:
"As World War I reaches the heart of the
African
jungle, Charlie Allnutt and Rose Sayer, a dishevelled trader and an English spinster missionary, find themselves thrown together by circumstance. Fighting time, heat, malaria, and bullets, they make their escape on the rickety steamboat 'The
African
Queen
'...and hatch their own outrageous military plan. Originally published in 1935, The
African
Queen
is a tale replete with vintage Forester drama - unrelenting suspense, reckless heroism, impromptu military manoeuvres, near-death experiences - and a good old-fashioned love story to boot."--Publisher.
