New condition black boards with a red spine and gold front cover and spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author's Notes; Dedication; Acknowledgments; Preliminary Page Quotes; Prologue; Epilogue; and About the Author. Illustrated with repeating beginning of chapter elephant silhouettes and similarly illustrated front and rear endpapers. Signed by the author, Karl Lenker, with black ink on the title page. "The plight of the African elephant is, regrettably, all too real and worthy of our intervention." - from the copyright page. "It is NOvember, 1993. The chaos and lawlessness of Somalia has reached its apex in the wake of the "Blackhawk Down" debacle of a month earlier and the American government struggles with its foreign policy options. In neighboring Kenya a young couple honeymooning on safari are wickedly attachked by ruthless elephant poachers - he is murdered, she is kidnapped. Their fathers, who served together as Army Rangers in Vietnam, agonize over the loss (they and the incompetent Kenyan police believe both are dead) and choke on the certain truth that justice will never be served . that is until they decide to do what any outraged former special forces soldiers wold do .hunt the bastards down themselves. John Ruger Forrest, and airline pilot and a former highly skilled and decorated sniper, assembles a team of his old Army Ranger comrades to do what must be done. At great risk to his career, Steven Henry Henderson brings CIA resources to bear to provide Forrest with the support necessary to pose as an elephant researcher while stalking and hunting poachers. But a mission that begins as an act of pure vigilanted justice and revenge becomes something much more complicated when, Henderson discovers his daughter may be alive and Forrest falls in love with Africa, the magnificent elephants and a woman whose husband hides a dark secret which has the potential to bring them both down. This novel is "fiction-as-realism" at its best. Every fact and location has been painstakingly researched and every character and episode is either based on actual events or composites of real people and true stories. It doesn't get any more "real" than this." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.…

Store description
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
