This thrilling adventure story by internationally-known antique weaponry specialist Guy West centres on the deadly trade of ivory poaching.

Set in the 1990s it follows the fortunes of a world-weary, middle-aged war correspondent on the rebound from a failed relationship who takes a sabbatical from his journalistic career to make a nostalgic return to Africa, where he spent his childhood and formative years, in the famous Masai Mara region of Kenya in East Africa.

He sits next to a beautiful young woman on the journey to Kenya and is immediately drawn to her. Unfortunately, she is greeted by her boyfriend upon arrival, putting a stop to his dreams for a romantic relationship.

But they'll meet again - this time under less than ideal conditions, out in the open on the plains and on the run from a violent band of ivory poachers. In a fight to the death to rescue himself and his gorgeous companion, he must draw on all he's learned in the war-torn battlezones he's reported from, and possibly win her affections in the process...
