The book is the author&#8217;s roller coaster life of adventure which takes the reader through a vivid litany of red blooded antics from being imprisoned as a poacher in Mugabe&#8217;s wracked Zimbabwe, to nearly losing his life through a buffalo goring, drowning in rivers in racing canoes, shooting up poachers&#8217;camps in the jungles of the Congo, and surviving in the lawless mining town of Johannesburg. This is a riveting read as summed by &#8216;The South African&#8217;: &#8220;It can be argued that there is something distinctly &#8216;Hemingway&#8217; in Callender&#8217;s writing with the theme of death permeating much of this book&#8230;..&#8221;.<\/p><p>The &#8220;Sporting rifle&#8221;( The leading field sports magazine in the UK) had this to say:&#8221;Michael Callender is an African hand of the old order and ranks alongside Selous, Bell, and Hunter as one who can wield both rifle and pen. His fresh and approaching narrative is entertaining and informative, easily taking the reader along with the author on a lifetime of safari&#8221;.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-116f73b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"116f73b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9fa4644 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9fa4644\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.20.0 - 13-03-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/michaelcallenderadventurewriter.com\/gallery\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"284\" height=\"116\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelcallenderadventurewriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/home-readmore.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-82\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a19b688 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a19b688\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23adb7d7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"23adb7d7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d3455 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4d3455\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"53\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelcallenderadventurewriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/michael-callender-author-order-online-1024x68.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-83\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelcallenderadventurewriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/michael-callender-author-order-online-1024x68.png 1024w, https:\/\/michaelcallenderadventurewriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/michael-callender-author-order-online-300x20.png 300w, https:\/\/michaelcallenderadventurewriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/michael-callender-author-order-online-768x51.png 768w, https:\/\/michaelcallenderadventurewriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/michael-callender-author-order-online.png 1064w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7048e241 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7048e241\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61aad27a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"61aad27a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e7a6f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3e7a6f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.20.0 - 13-03-2024 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Leopard On A RazorWire<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60d6d87c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"60d6d87c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Available for purchase on Amazon for \u00a318.00 (Hardback) &#8211;
