About this listen

A heart-racing thriller from the master of adventure.

Afghanistan veteran Sean Bourke's world explodes when an IED detonates in South Africa's Sabi Sand Game Reserve.

On a routine anti-poaching patrol, Sean and his tracker dog Benny watch in horror as over-eager rookie Tumi Mabasa is almost killed, and her dog gravely injured, in the explosion.

Along with Tumi and best mate Craig Hoddy, Sean is determined to hunt down the elusive bomb maker who has introduced this destructive weapon to the war on poaching.

But Sean is his own worst enemy. Haunted by nightmares of the war and racked with guilt from driving away his ex-wife, Christine, he soon discovers she and Craig in the midst of an intense affair.

And there's another enemy at play . . .

As bombs target Sean's unit, can he get himself back on track and win the fight for Africa's wildlife - and Christine - before it's too late?

Critic Reviews

"Gripping action thrillers...never disappoints as a storyteller." (Daily Telegraphy)
All stars

Not a bad story line. Park seems to be slipping a bit. His first 12 or so books were the best. The narrator has let the story down. Starts off with a few good accents then by chapter 4 there is only his own. Also needs to work on South African pronunciation of slang words. In this one, too much about relationships and not enough about the thrill and suspense. Disappointing unfortunately. Hope Park isn't getting soft!

Narrator needs to work on accents

I've read/listened to all of Tony Park's books. I've visited the parts of Africa he talks about and so that's why I've enjoyed them. However, I could probably guess the plot of his next book already. And every narrator, including this one, doesn't seem to check how to pronounce the names of places or things in Africa.

Tony Park has become very formulaic
