'Katambora Sunset' is an Exciting Conclusion to Johnston's Katambora Trilogy of Novels
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 19, 2015 / Texas author Rory Johnston is pleased to announce the release of his latest novel, Katambora Sunset. Rhino and elephant poaching in Southern Africa is reaching epidemic proportions and his timely novel, the third and last of the Katambora trilogy, highlights how the international poaching rings operated in the 1980s. It gives the reader a unique insight into the genesis of the scourge of poaching, especially that of rhinos whose horns have absolutely no medicinal value at all.
In the 1980s, an era of political turmoil swept over Africa, offering opportunity for those who could move with the flow—not always for the better. Among those taking advantage of shifting political alliances were international rhino poachers who began the rapid eradication of one of Africa's most magnificent animals for their horns, much sought-after ingredients in Chinese and Vietnamese medicine.
Colin and Annika Somerset manage a photo safari operation on behalf of the local BaTonga people in the remote Zambezi valley. The two have dedicated their lives to wildlife conservation, especially rhinos.
Threatening Colin and Annika's happiness—and very lives—is Justin Charimba, an old enemy who has his own life ambition: the utter destruction of the Somersets.
Now a member of Zimbabwe's dreaded 5th Brigade, Charimba exerts his influence over a large swath of land, including the Somerset's Katambora Safari Ranch. He's ready to move against Colin and Annika, and if he happens to profit from the deaths of their beloved rhinos, well, that makes revenge all the sweeter.
A rousing Southern African adventure novel reminiscent of Wilbur Smith's early works, Katambora Sunset brings Rory Johnston's Katambora trilogy to an exciting close.
The book is now available on amazon.com, on http://www.roryjohnston.org or http://www.createspace.com/5735150. A Kindle version will also be available on Amazon.
