Myers</p><p>This adventures story follows the story of English and Russian scientists who head to South Africa for research. While on their mission the Crimean War begins and the researchers find themselves to be enemies of locals.</p><p>This 1874 printing was unauthorized and pirated by Shepard and printed under a different title – '<i>Adventures in the Land of the Behemoth</i>'.
