Book description
The hunters become the hunted . . .
The rangers closed in, firing steadily. Within minutes all the adult
animals were down. Only the calves still raced in bewildered circles,
stumbling over the bodies of the dead and dying. Six minutes after the
first shot, a silence fell over the killing ground on Long Vlei . . .
In the blinding light of Zimbabwe's Chiwewe National Park, Dr Daniel
Armstrong, world-famous TV naturalist, films the slaughter of a herd of
elephant. In London, anthropologist Kelly Kinnear is forced into violent
conforntation with the shareholders of the most powerful conglomerate in
the City of London, warning them of the destruction of an African
country.
Now the time has come to act. Together, Armstrong and Kinnear forge a
passionate alliance - and begin the fight against the forces of greed,
evil and corruption attacking a land they would both give their lives to
save . . .
Combining breathtaking realism and thrilling suspence, the world's
master storyteller takes us on a journey deep into the heart of a wild,
magnificent continent, threatened for ever by the destructive hand of
man. Wilbur Smith was born in Central Africa in 1933. He was educated
