review 1: Thanks to First Reads Giveaway, I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this thrilling novel. The story begins with an exciting roadside assassination attempt and then takes the reader on an adventure through Namibia's Caprivi Strip and Botswana. The novel is part adventure/travel novel, part political thriller. I learned a lot about southern Africa because of this story. I frequently found myself googling searches about dams, plants, bees, birds, and mammals--the descriptions of these subjects are so vivid! I frequently kept my laptop handy as I sat down to read each night. The characters are authentic; and I found the lead character, a native African-turned mercenary (Sonja), to be complicated and compelling. And then you have the American wildlife documentary host and c... morerew who bring humor and stark contrast to the other savvy natives who are woven into the intriguing, twisting plot. Before I received this novel, I had never heard of Tony Park. This won't be the last novel I read by him, that's for sure!
review 2: Disclaimer: I won this book from Goodreads.I have never read a Tony Park book, but I am now a fan. The book was full of action (oh, so much action), drama, tragedy, humor, and suspense (that ending!), along with vivid descriptions of the scenery. Thankfully, the Acknowledgements at the end informed me how much of the background story was real. Also, kudos for making me cry in the middle of an action thriller (the elephants, of course). less
