Alex Tremain is a pirate in trouble. The two women in his life - one of them his financial adviser, the other his diesel mechanic - have left him. He's facing a mounting tide of debts and his crew of modern-day buccaneers, a multi-national band of ex-military cut-throats, is getting restless. They don't all share his dream of going legit, but what Alex really wants is to re-open the five-star resort hotel which once belonged to his Portuguese mother and English father on the Island of Dreams, off the coast of Mozambique.

Story
In 2012 retired South African general Johan Jooste was parachuted into the seemingly unwinnable war against rhino poaching in the Kruger National Park. With poaching spiralling out of control, Jooste was given the mandate to 'go military', to convert Kruger's ranger corps into a para-military force capable of taking the fight to poachers. Aged 60, white, and a veteran of 35 years of military service, Jooste's controversial appointment was immediately met with resentment and hostility by elements of South African National Parks, the police, and even the military he had served with.

Ex-Rhodesian soldier Jason Green was frustrated and mildly depressed. The winter in London had been long and bitterly cold. The steady work as a freelance insurance fraud investigator was mundane and repetitive. Then he is summoned to the offices of a wealthy investment banker. The brief: to ascertain the source of the unanticipated wealth of the man's high-flying young son. The time frame: urgent. The payout: enormous. This takes Green from the grimy streets of London to the beaches of Cape Town and ultimately to the dark tropical jungles of the spice island of Zanzibar. Intrigue, chaos, murder, betrayal, and revenge follow swiftly.

On a desolate beach in far northern Scotland, the winter storms have been washing up all manner of things since time began. But buried in the centre of one smaller iceberg is a shard of ancient Viking pottery telling a partial tale of a hidden mysterious island beyond the ice and mist, that was home to a great treasure and even greater horrors. Thawing in the same block of ice was a rotting flap of skin that refused to be identified but had similar skin patterns to a creature not seen for 100 million years.

What a gem

Editorial reviews
Kruger National Park in north-western South Africa is the beautiful and explosive setting for Silent Predator, Tony Park’s thriller of kidnapping and exotic adventure. Australian actor Mark Davis provides the swarthy voice that carries the listener through the big game park all the way to the dangerous waters of Mozambique. Park, who in real life maintains a tent with his wife in the Kruger, knows his territory well.
The story focuses on Detective Sergeant Tom Furey and his high-stakes search for a kidnapped government official. He is joined in the hunt by Sannie van Rensburg, a sexy and driven inspector who is drawn to Furey with a fury. Together, Sanni and Tom must fight predators from the human to the reptilian and more.
Publisher's Summary
In a luxury private safari lodge in Kruger National Park, Detective Sergeant Tom Furey has just woken to a protection officer's worst nightmare. The VIP in his charge, British government minister, Robert Greeves, has been abducted.
Knowing his career is on the line, Furey vows not to stop searching until Greeves is found - dead or alive. He and his South African counterpart, Inspector Sannie van Rensburg, go against official orders and start the hunt for the kidnappers through the outer limits of the national park, to the coastal waters of Mozambique. Increasingly drawn to Tom, Sannie can't resist involving herself in his dangerous mission, even risking her job to help him.

Overall Good Book
the negative first - Narrator cannot pronounce Native African and Afrikaans words - Frustrating. But otherwise good performance.
Sex scenes too graphic and too many - not needed if story line is strong.
Boy gets Girl ending every book so far.. in real life Africa the good people and hero’s die.
Now the positive - absolutely fantastic reading a book about Africa. The places and antidotes bring back memories and experiences I had forgotten. The books so far capture the fact that in Africa you Live Life - and live 5 lifetimes of a city dwelling computer geek.
The story’s have twists and turns that I really did not expect.
Overall Great Books so far - Well Done and I will read the rest ASAP

Cracking pace from go to wo.
Another great book from a writer who really knows his stuff.
Fast paced and full of action.
Really good characters that are completely plausible and Tony keeps you guessing the whole way through.
I started off reading the book but being time poor listened from halfway on Audio Book wanting to get stuck in traffic just to listen to more.
Can't wait to get into The Hunter.

A good story
Although I liked the story, I found the pronunciation of some words annoyingly wrong and noticed that the South African characters were read in one tone of voice which a bit boring to listen to.
