Synopsis:

Wilbur Smith, the acclaimed master of historical fiction, finally returns to the wilds of Africa (the land of his birth), territory he has not explored since he burst onto the literary scene with his 1964 novel, WHEN THE LION FEEDS. The British expatriate Leon Country, a smug safari guide, has found his niche escorting the elite of America and Europe when they come to Africa to shoot for big game. With Europe on the brink of World War I, Leon's uncle calls on him to do his patriotic duty for England by spying on his latest safari client, a German named Count von Meerbach. But Leon jeopardizes his mission by falling in love with the count's mistress, who has an agenda all her own. Smith fills the pages with unforgettable battles with wild animals and expansive descriptions of the African landscape, which have been marinated to perfection by his 40 years of memory.
