Book Overview

by Mike Bond (Author)

FIRST PRIZE FOR FICTION, LOS ANGELES BOOK FESTIVAL. "A stunning tale of love and loss amid a magnificent wilderness and its myriad animals, and a deadly manhunt through savage jungles, steep mountains and fierce deserts as an SAS commando tries to save the elephants, the woman he loves and the soul of Africa itself."

With Africa's last elephants being killed for their ivory, Kenya rancher and ex-SAS officer Ian MacAdam leads a commando squad to hunt down the poachers. Pursuing them through jungled mountains and searing deserts he battles thirst, solitude, terror and lethal animals, only to find they have kidnapped a young archaeologist, Rebecca Hecht, whom he once loved and bitterly lost. McAdam embarks upon a desperate trek to save not only Rebecca but his own soul in an Africa torn apart by wars, overpopulation, and the slaughter of its last wildlife.

An intense memoir of humanity's ancient heartland, its people, wildlife, deserts and jungles, and the deep, abiding power of love.

"One of the most realistic portrayals of Africa yet." - YAHOO REVIEWS... "Sheer intensity" - KIRKUS... "A gripping thriller." - LIVERPOOL DAILY POST (UK)
