Reviews

[Alex Fürstenau · Rating 5 out of 5]

The typical late Karl May story. You can clearly spot the good and the bad guys. The good guys are very unlucky at the start and the bad guys have several possibilities to become good guys but of cause, they don't. It's a nice story with different storylines.

[Andrew Brehm · Rating 4 out of 5]

Amazong and long story, not visiting as many exotic places as May's other stories, but a good read with lots of interesting continuations. It is difficult to keep track of all the characters.
