Another brilliant read from Tony Park, non stop action that will have you on the edge of your seat. The setting is vividly brought to life, great characterisation and a story line that grips you from the start. I loved every minute of it.
Thanks to netgalley for the copy of another thrilling Tony Park African adventure.
The way he describes the bush, the poaching in the nature reserves and the harsh life that a wild life rancher has to deal with, is done so expertly, I feel that the story comes to life for me.
This was really another brilliant offering by Tony, and worth your time and effort.
Australian author Tony Park is right at the top of his game, and this book proves it. Based in Africa working for an anti-poaching cause, this is a fast-paced, nail biter of a thriller. The dedication of both the humans and the working dogs is admirable and felt very authentically portrayed. The tension builds to epic proportions and there are twisty surprises around every corner. Often described as the Aussie version of Wilbur Smith, which is quite the accolade, I thoroughly enjoy each book he publishes.
The action is non-stop making it difficult to read this in anything but a single, solitary sitting and the setting is beautifully rendered, so much so that you can transport yourself there at a moments notice. The issue of poaching seems to have been meticulously researched and forms an interesting and original story. Our protagonist, veteran Sean Bourke, is a real, flawed character who it's easy to cheer for despite his gambling addiction. This is a high-octane, all-action extravaganza worthy of nothing less than the full five-star treatment.
Many thanks to Pan for an ARC.
