Publisher's Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James.
Tracker is known far and wide for his skills as a hunter - and he always works alone. But when he is engaged to find a child who disappeared three years ago, he must break his own rules, joining a group of eight very different mercenaries working together to find the boy.
Following the lost boy's scent from one ancient city to another, into dense forests and across deep rivers, Tracker starts to wonder: who is this boy? Why has he been missing for so long? Why do so many people want to keep Tracker from finding him? And, most important of all, who is telling the truth and who is lying?
Drawing from vivid African history and mythology, Marlon James weaves a saga of breathtaking adventure and powerful intrigue - a mesmerising, unique meditation on the nature of truth and power.

Where was the plot? 30% in and it hasn't shown up
Not what I expected. I thought it was a sort of mythology retelling but the story just meanders with no direction. I'm not given any reason to care what is happening or why I should pay attention to the narrator's wandering rambles. I had no idea where the plot was but if it doesn't start on page one then you're starting in the wrong place. The casual misogyny of the setting was also distasteful. I wanted to expand my reading and with new authors and I gave this one a good 30% listening time. At this I got really agitated because "where is the plot?" and "why should I care about any of this seemingly random narration?". I was getting so annoyed that I had to abandon it. I have a long to-read list and if a story doesn't grab my attention I'm moving on to the next one.
