A historical adventure that keeps you on your toes. I enjoyed the unique safari setting, but it took me about 30% to get into it because there are LOTS of character POVs to follow and the past/present timing slowed down the pacing.

I recommend for anyone looking for a cinematic, transportive read - I could see this being made into a movie. Beware of lots of shocking violence/death.
