About this listen

Sonja Kurtz - former soldier, supposedly retired mercenary - is in Vietnam carrying out a personal revenge mission when her daughter sends a call for help.

Emma is on a dig at the edge of Namibia's Etosha National Park, studying archaeology, and she's discovered a body that dates back to the country's liberation war of the 1980s.

The remains, identified as Hudson Brand, are a key piece of a puzzle that will reveal the location of a modern-day buried treasure. A find people will kill for.

Sonja returns to the country of her birth to find Emma, but she's missing.

Former CIA agent Hudson Brand is very much alive and is also drawn back to Namibia to finally solve a decades-old mystery whose clues are entombed in an empty corner of the desert.

Having lived in South Africa and conscripted into the conflict in Namibia in the eighties, I can relate to the events in this story. Tony Park always researches his novels well. I felt that he laboured the theme of rhino horn poaching rather excessively, and that detracted from the overall momentum of the plot. I did like the fact that the author brought to light the futility of this dirty proxy war, and the avarice and greed of personal agendas that make any war so abhorrent.
My only real gripe with this audio book is the narrator. His fake South African and German accents grate on the nerves, and his pronunciation of Afrikaans words and Namibian place names is cringe worthy. With a little homework, the narrator could have rendered a much more polished performance.

Good yarn, disappointing narration

This man cannot pronounce anything. He’s making a great story tedious. I’m not even 3hours in and I want to stop reading.

Horrible Narration
