Bantan's Island Peril

BANTAN, the handsome, intrepid South Sea islander, born of American parents, needs no introduction to readers of colorful action and romantic adventures. Four Bantan books have been issued, and now the fifth, BANTAN'S ISLAND PERIL, is here. There is no question the bronzed islander has no contemporary equal as he resumes his adventurous career in this new novel. Action for the most part takes place on the Aoono Islands where strangers are sentenced to death. Nao, a lovely maiden of Amo Island, owes her life to Bantan, and her gratitude soon changes to love. Later, imprisoned on Ono Island, Princess Lori becomes attracted to the handsome islander. Amar, son of the Amo chief, is as villainous as can be. Once again thrill to new adventures with Bantan in the tropics. See him kill a wild boar, battle with sharks, a giant clam, and Nature's ever present threat to his existence--a fierce tropical storn. Last, but not least, this is the first of the Bantan books to be illustrated. Jim Cawthorn, a well known English artist, has captured the Bantanian atmosphere with six full-page black and white drawings. When the reader reaches the final page of this new book, it would not be surprising that there is a demand-- FOR MORE BANTAN ADVENTURES!
