A heart-racing thriller from the master of adventure - author of The Delta, The Prey and An Empty Coast "A fast-moving thriller starring a female mercenary in a great setting, along with violence and a dollop of sex ... expect a thrill ride that won't disappoint." Kirkus "An all-action, old-fashioned, full-on boy's own romp from an author who is starting to challenge the veteran Wilbur Smith ... Break-neck in pace, with narrow escapes from death on every page, its charm is infectious." Daily Mail (UK) After a failed assassination attempt on the president of Zimbabwe, ex-soldier turned mercenary Sonja Kurtz is on the run and heads for her only place of refuge, the Okavango Delta in the heart of Botswana. She's looking to rekindle a romance with her childhood sweetheart, safari camp manager Sterling Smith, and desperately wants a fresh start and to leave her perilous warrior lifestyle behind. But Sonja discovers her beloved Delta is on the brink of destruction. She is recruited as an "eco-commando" in a bid to halt a project that will destroy forever the Delta's fragile network of swamps and waterways. Soon Sonja finds herself caught in a deadly web of intrigue involving Sterling, the handsome Martin Steele - her mercenary commander, and a TV heartthrob and wildlife documentary presenter "Coyote" Sam Chapman who blunders out of the bush in a reality show gone wrong. Instead of escaping her violent past, Sonja is now surrounded by men who are relying on her killer instincts to save the day. Where she came to find peace, she finds war... and it is not just the survival of the Delta that is at stake.
