The Mucker
The Mucker is one of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s most vivid adventure novels, published in 1914. Billy Byrne is a brutal young tough from the slums of Chicago, a ‘mucker’ with no manners and no morals, who is shanghaied aboard a ship bound for the Pacific. Wrecked on a wild island of headhunters and cast among Japanese pirates and a kidnapped society girl, Billy is slowly and believably changed by hardship, danger, and love into a man of courage and honour. Burroughs tells a rough, fast-moving story of redemption, running from the streets of America to the far side of the world. This free PDF and EPUB offers the complete novel.
