My best way to describe Hammond Innes books is it's like watching a great black and white movie on tv ... this one was colorized. Elephants, Africa, a Safari, it sure grabbed by attention. I actually purhcased this book in 1977 when it was first published and never got around to reading it for some reason. Now, in 2004 I'm finally getting around to reading some of the older books in my library and was amazed that I had missed reading this one along the way. Its a great read with all the typical Hammond Innes plots: Man against the elements, Man against Nature, Man falls in love with the primary female lead. Great protagonist / antagonist confrontations. Oh, it's Innes at his best to be sure. Ok, why then am I not giving it 5-stars? Well, the ending was not all I hoped it would be. I won't ruin it for you ... it is good, but definately not where I thought it would end. Worth reading? Assuredly.

The hunters attack...

There was an eruption of noise, the crack of a shot, flat and hard, and in the same instant, the herd matriarch, not trumpeting, not making any sound, just covering the ground at great speed, the dust flying beneath her dancing feet. And behind her, half a dozen others, big beasts with their trunks curled underneath their tusks and their heads high.

Another shot sounded, and another, a whole ripple of fire. One elephant checked, another down, but the rest of them kept going, driving straight for the Land Rover and the two trucks...
