An African adventure like no other. At the start of the 20th century the British East Africa Protectorate is a beautiful but savage country. A veneer of civilization overlays a prehistoric land where a man stays alive "by dint of his courage, daring, cunning, and ferocity," and can make a fortune smuggling ivory, gold and slaves from the jungles of the Congo to the black markets in Zanzibar. Two American hunters, Kincaid and Gunner, are tossed back a hundred years in time and find themselves lost on East Africa's Athi Plain where mischance - or great good fortune - makes them masters of a smugglers' caravan on trek from the shores of Lake Victoria to the Uganda Railway at Nairobi, laden with 20,000 worth ($2.5 million) of illicit ivory, gold, and slaves. To free the seventy natives held as slaves, they must survive assaults by askari military police, Arab slavers from Oman, Kavirondo tribal warriors, hired thugs in the streets of Mombasa, a lion's mauling, and the mysterious wiles of a fierce and beautiful Baluba woman."
