All the insignia and identification numbers had been carefully covered with masking-tape, and then oversprayed with black enamel from a hand-held aerosol can. This is my third Wilbur Smith novel that I have read. View 1 comment. The Leopard Hunts in Darkness Writer Poor story telling and characters. Then he turned and moving silently he crossed the rocky ridge, a mere greyish blur for an instant against the clear blue of the African sky. No pursuit that he had ever experienced was as persistent as this had been. Thank you for subscribing. In my lingering adrenalin rush after staying up til 3 a. Thanks for telling us about the problem. One old cow with all four feet blown away lay upon her side and flogged her head against the hard earth in her attempts to rise. When the frame-up is discovered, Mellow is accused of being a CIA operative and has everything he owned confiscated and is declared an enemy of the state. They soon discover that Samson was also a victim of Peter's dishonesty and Craig is appalled to realize they helped to jail an innocent man.

The Leopard Hunts in Darkness is a novel by Wilbur Smith set in the early days of Zimbabwe 's independence [1] and is the fourth in Wilbur Smith's series about the Ballantyne family of Rhodesia. The terrible chorus of groans and screams from the minefield could not keep him from sleep. All are customary when reading a Wilbur Smith book. Nov 10, Cynthia Nichols rated it did not like it. This strikes m blurb - Craig Mellow, acclaimed author but unhappy exile, seizes the chance to return to Zimbabwe when he is given a spying mission for the World Bank. One I hadn't read. Underlying it all, like the string section of some hellish orchestra, was the whistling clatter of the helicopter rotor as the machine dipped and swung and dropped and rose along the periphery of the minefield, worrying the milling herd like a sheepdog its flock, darting here to head off a bunch of animals that had broken back, racing there to catch a fine young bull who had miraculously run unscathed through the field and reached the clear ground of the river-bank, settling in his path, forcing him to stop and turn, then chasing him back into the minefield until a mine tore his foot away and he went down trumpeting and screaming. Shades of Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt add wonderfully to the climax of this final instalment of the 'Ballantyne' novels, and I particularly liked the fact that, even though this "story" was set years after the "stories" that were told in the first few books, Smith makes it all come together brilliantly. You have to read it for yourself to j This is my third Wilbur Smith novel that I have read. I live in the country, have had to kill animals, have probably seen as much real blood and guts as most readers would ever care to, and am not opposed to violent and bloody scenes when they are integral to the story. Peter Stride, who leads an elite force in an assault on a hijacked airliner in an attempt to free endangered hostages. He propped his AK 47 against the trunk, spread a handkerchief upon the earth to protect his jeans and sat down with his back to the rough bark.

Something at the limit of his vision had caught his attention, something that glistened metallically in the slanted morning sunlight. Working with one of the local politicians, he casts blame on a government minister. Now when it reached the escarpment of the Zambezi valley, it broke up into eddies and backlashes amongst the hills and the broken ground of the rim. The Leopard Hunts in Darkness Reviews Peter isn't finished with his treachery. One old cow with all four feet blown away lay upon her side and flogged her head against the hard earth in her attempts to rise. A sample from The Leopard Hunts in Darkness. Though there was no moon, the fat white stars hung close against the earth, and the herd moved almost soundlessly through the dark forests. Showing The first three Ballantyne books focus on the drive for colonial wealth and the bitter struggle between black and white in Rhodesia's brief history. Trivia About The Leopard Hunts Africa Zimbabwe. If only life could be that simple! The bull could not know nor understand the reason, that there had been bitter civil war amongst his tormentors, war that had turned these vast areas along the south bank of the Zambezi into an undefended buffer zone, too dangerous for ivory-hunters or even for the game rangers whose duties included the cull of surplus elephant populations. The sound came from behind the herd, from the south again, and the old bull swung away from the minefield to face it. When poaching is discovered on the more remote property that Craig plans to turn into a tourist destination, he and wildlife federation photographer Sally-Anne Jay seek the culprit and all evidence points to Craig's old friend Samson, now known as Tungata Zebiwe.
