Golden Fox & Elephant Song
Pan Macmillan 1999 Hardback, 451pp. Two Bestsellers in one volume Golden Fox - The 1970s will test the headstrong and beautiful Isabelle Courtney to the extreme. They will be times of hardship and pain, hidden behind the masks of affluence and success. Brother will be pitted against brother as this story moves from London to Europe and to the searing heat of a divided Africa. Elephant Song - The rangers closed in, firing steadily. Within minutes all the adult animals were down. Only the calves still raced in bewildered circles, stumbling over the bodies of the dead and dying. Six minutes after the first shot, a silence fell over the killing ground on Long Vlei. In the blinding light of Zimbabwe's Chiwewe National Park, Dr Daniel Armstrong, world-famous TV naturalist, films the slaughter of a herd of elephant. In London, anthropologist Kelly Kinnear is forced into violent conforntation with the shareholders of the most powerful conglomerate in the City of London, warning them of the destruction of an African country. Now the time has come to act. Together, Armstrong and Kinnear forge a passionate alliance - and begin the fight against the forces of greed, evil and corruption attacking a land they would both give their lives to save - Combining breathtaking realism and thrilling suspence, the world's master storyteller takes us on a journey deep into the heart of a wild, magnificent continent, threatened for ever by the destructive hand of man. DJ; heavy; previous owner's stamp inside, (ISBN: 9781865150369). Good.
