Il leone del Transvaal

Year 1901, Transvaal, South Africa. The war between the Boers and the English rages. The conflict is won by the English, but the clashes continue. During a desperate action, a guerrilla disappears and comes face to face with a mystery that later attracts the attention of a man belonging to the British army; but he is not a soldier, he is a ruthless killer willing to kill and torture to get hold of that secret. The story reaches the ears of an Italian writer in a roundabout way, who considers it very interesting... Year 2011. Martin Mystère meets a young and attractive expert on the life and works of Emilio Salgari. The girl claims to be in possession of notes and other material relating to an unpublished novel by the great writer: a work which, for unknown reasons, always remained unfinished and never published... The Almanac is completed by color dossiers dedicated to Salgari, to the fantastic worlds of C.S. Lewis and the secrets of the Invisible Man, as well as a broad overview of books, films, TV series and video games from the Mystery Year!
