About This Item
St. Martin's Press, 1992. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 9x6x0. A short tear to dustjacket. Hailed as the adventure-writing successor to Hemingway and Ruark, only Peter Hathaway Capstick âcan write action as cleanly and suspensefully as the best of his predecessorsâ (Sports Illustrated). This long-awaited sequel to Death in the Silent Places brings to life four turn-of-the-century adventurers and the savage frontiers they braved.* Frederick Selous, a British hunter, naturalist, and soldier, rewrote the history books with his fearless treks deep into Africa.* English game ranger Constantine âIodineâ Ionides saved Tanganyikan villages from man-eating lions and leopards. He also gained lasting fame for his uncanny ability to capture black mambas, cobras, Gaboon vipers, and other deadly snakes.* The dashing Brit Johnny Boyes who gained the chieftainship of the Kikuyu tribe with sheer bravado and survived the ferocious battles and ambushes of intertribal warfare.* And Scottish ex-boxer, Jim Sutherland, one of the best ivory hunters who ever lived. His tracking skills and stamina afoot became the stuff of African hunting legend.In The African Adventurers: A Return to the Silent Places, Capstick delivers âthe kind of chilling stories that Hemingway only heard second-hand...with a flair and style that Papa himself would admireâ (Guns and Ammo). The authorâs pungent wit and his authenticity gained from years in the bush make this quartet of vintage heroics an unforgettable return to the silent places.
