by W. E. Johns

Series:Biggles (25)

Description

"Biggles learns the law of the jungle. It is the late 1930s. With the after-images of the Roaring Twenties fading and the world heading once more towards conflict, Biggles, Algy and Ginger head for tropical climes, and the trio layover in Belize. While there, Biggles looks up his old pal Carruthers, Acting Governor of the territory, who is having problems. Someone -- rumours abound about a self-styled 'King of the Forest' -- is interrupting the flow of the nation's chief export, chicle, show more which is used to make chewing gum. In addition, three Americans have gone missing in the jungle, reportedly looking for treasure. Belize has no air force, and so Biggles volunteers to take his amphibious aircraft, Wanderer , upriver to investigate... Biggles flies again on another international adventure, perfect for fans of Derek Robinson and Max Hennessy."-- show less

Samen met Ginger en Algy onderneemt Biggles een vakantie door met hun vliegtuig een reis door Zuid-Amerika te maken. In de hoofdstad van Brits Honduras ontmoetten zij hun vriend Carrutters, die hun op de hoogte brengt van de "Tijger", oftewel "Koning der bossen", die in de jungle een waar schrikbewind uitoefent bij het zoeken naar een schat. Met de hulp van een Indiaan weten de helden uiteindelijk de (koloniale) rust en orde te herstellen.

Weer een verhaal waarin de blanke superioriteit duidelijk aanwezig is.
