A reissue of Willard Price's classic adventure series set in the animal kingdom 'It's war. And right now we're losing it.' Hal and Roger Hunt fly straight into the jaws of death when they join warden Mark Crosby in Tsavo, an African park where poaching is big business. And with a gang leaving behind a blood-stained trail of terror and torture, the heat is on for the brothers to solve the string of mysterious murders - before they too become victims . . .
Price knew all the right buttons to press to excite a young reader - exotic locations, nasty villains, wild animals and lashings of peril -- David Barnett * Guardian *
Willard Price makes the pulse-rate soar * Independent *
