Reseña de Rogue Lion Safaris

Rogue Lion Safaris de Simon Barnes Resumen del Libro

A funny, romantic, evocative novel set against the safari tourism business in East Africa, written by an award-winning journalist.

After the death of his beloved, bankrupt gambler of a father, Dan Lynch follows his university degree in zoology to a run-down safari camp, where he can work as a trainee guide and, most important, be near George Sorensen, the owner. George is a wildlife genius, but no great businessman, and the camp is threatened by lack of visitors, competition from the much more luxurious set-up across the valley, and corrupt local politicians. In learning about the majestic landscape and fauna of Africa, Dan learns a lot about people – and about himself.

A beautiful evocation of place, a warmly observant love story, a suspenseful battle against the odds, Rogue Lion Safaris marks the debut of a very bright new voice in fiction.

Reviews

“Barnes has created a new category of adventure story, doing for safaris what Dick Francis has done for horse-racing, but better written”
The Times

“An exceptionally good first novel”
Mail on Sunday

“This novel is just about the next best thing to going on safari oneself, such is its evocation of place”
Oxford Times
