Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The League of the Leopard" by Harold Bindloss is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in West Africa, it appears to focus on themes of adventure, danger, and the quest for fortune. The opening introduces several key characters, particularly Carsluith Maxwell, who seems to be drawn into perilous circumstances involving mysterious local tribes, specifically the Leopards, and the legacy of his compatriot's dangerous pursuits in search of gold. At the start of the narrative, we find ourselves in a hot and oppressive West African factory where trader Niven lies dying, haunted by fever and the weight of a troubling legacy connected to his partner Lyle. As Niven recounts his harrowing past involving a beset expedition into dangerous territory dominated by a secretive group known as the Leopards, Maxwell, his companion, listens intently. This encounter not only foreshadows Maxwell's potential journey into the perilous lands of the Leopards but also positions him within a conflict that merges personal ambition with ancient tribal rivalries. The tone is somber and filled with tension as Niven's fate intertwines with Maxwell's burgeoning resolve to confront the dangers that lie ahead.
