Summary "The Fire-Gods: A Tale of the Congo" by Captain Charles Gilson is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around explorers Edward Harden and his nephew Max Harden as they embark on an expedition up the Congo River in search of big game and geographical discoveries. Along the way, they encounter intriguing characters such as Captain Crouch, who is known for his exceptional survival skills and understanding of the local tribes. The opening of the narrative introduces the Explorers' Club, a hub for adventurers and scientists keen on uncovering the mysteries of the "Dark Continent." Edward Harden, a renowned explorer, feels out of place in London's social scene but is excited about his upcoming journey. After a chance encounter with his young nephew, Max, who is eager to join him on the expedition, they discuss the treacherous terrains and unknown lands they will face, specifically mentioning cannibal tribes and the fabled "Hidden River." The tone is set for a thrilling journey marked by exploration, danger, and the promise of encountering the mythical Fire-gods, feared by the local tribes.
