Overview

"Kenya, as rich in complexity as it is in wildlife, faces a constant conflict between the needs of its environment and the wants of its people. The Cawstons, a settler family, enlist the help of a young, beautiful American diplomat in balancing these opposing needs. But they all get caught up in a terrifying face-off with a ruthless gang of poachers out for blood, ivory, and rhino horn - all of which are in abundance on the Cawstons' farm. Directly in the gang's path lie herds of wildlife, a group of visiting American tourists, a Peace Corps volunteer, and some of the rarest animals on earth." "This novel is rich with the Africa Richard Cox has lived and worked in for many years. A powerfully mystical event in African culture, the approaching eclipse provides the background of the efforts to stop the ineffable onrush of a particularly vicious and well-organized gang of poachers. But with corruption so widespread in Kenya, how much of what those fighting the gang receive is help and how much is hindrance?"--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
