Summary
Max Seager was the best there was. His skills sharpened in the midst of a brutal African civil war, he was at once a policeman, soldier and detective - a tracker of men. He thought he’d left that life behind him, but then he learns that his particular expertise is required again.
Two teenage girls have been abducted and are being held to ransom, hidden deep within the Zimbabwean bush that was once his hunting ground. The mother of one of the girls begs him to help and, unable to walk away, Max returns to Africa with a handpicked team of former comrades-in-arms.
But it soon becomes clear that nothing is quite what it seems and that if he is able to find the girls, it might only open the door to something far more sinister....
If you like Wilbur Smith, Andy Mcnab, Frederick Forsyth and Jack Higgins then you’ll love Mike Lunnon-Wood.

A good book spoilt by poor narration
I would recommend reading this book, rather than purchasing it in audio format. The narrator spoilt this book with his strained attempts at Southern African accents. His exertions were an unfortunate distraction and we struggled to get through this book. It would have been much better to employ a South African narrator or for the narrator to just read in his normal voice. Having been born in Rhodesia and living in South Africa, I looked forward to this book, but was disappointed.

Stonking!
A really enjoyable story. Well put together and the author obviously knows his stuff!
Well narrated, bar the mispronunciations. It was quite annoying every time he pronounced Selous as ‘Sellus’ and not ‘Seloo’, which was many times! A few of the South African words were also badly said, but you can forgive that as the story did make up for it. Likable and believable characters and a great twist at the end!
Would recommend!

A great story, spoilt by the narrattors' accents.
This novel was very accurate and poignant in the Africa bush settings of the story. The characters dialogues were authentic. However, the narrattors' accents and prounciation of many indigenous words were abysmal and made me cringe as I listened. it spoilt a very good story.

Another Mike Lunnon-Wood classic
I’ve enjoyed all the Mike Lunnon-Wood books I’ve listened to and this is another brilliant one. Really good story and great characters. Would highly recommend it.

A Thriller to Thrill
'Research' is a word that often comes up when you read a review of Lunnon-Wood, Rowland White mentions it in his prologue and it's clear throughout his work.
This book is somehow different, Lunnon-Wood KNOWS his subject, he's somehow lived it, trod some of the paths the characters tred and knows the politics and cultures, it's less burdened by techo-descriptions born of many hours in the library and given breath.
The narration is mature and leveled, the story speaks through without the narrator putting emphasis where they like.
Research is what makes Lunnon-Wood stand out but it's not what makes this book - what makes this book is the fact you feel like your there .. in the bush.

Let down a little by the second part
The first part of the story was classic Mike Lunnon-Wood, but I found the second part to be more skein to a gory East end gangster thriller. Performance as always exceptional.
