The Golden Centipede

Published in 1910, The Golden Centipede was one of Louise Gerard's earliest novels, a romantic adventure set in West Africa, containing elements of both "lost race" and cryptozoological fiction. Major Sinclair, an adventurous bird-collector, is bound for West Africa when he encounters "The Babe," a youthful criminal with more than one secret. Sinclair is soon caught up in the danger surrounding "The Babe," as a murderous legacy and traitorous alliances endanger plans to locate a lost treasure guarded by a monstrous terror. Note: This reprint contains racial epithets, ethnic stereotypes, and colonial attitudes, and may not be appropriate for all readers.
