From
the Back Cover --
During the author’s many
African safaris spread across two decades, Johnny Cooper has witnessed
the swirling changes of the dark continent along with the many
adventures that are a part of safari life. This book carries the reader
through many of these adventures with the excitement, suspense, humor,
and sometimes tragedy as they unfold. The author never holds back with
describing his own blunders with an honest humor that accurately
describes how an African safari can go bad as well as be the adventure
that one remembers for the rest of their life. This book is not just
another hairy chested tale of close call bravado, even though the author
has his close calls with buffalos and a charging lion, but a book that
many times shows how an unsuccessful hunt or a missed shot can hold
just as much adventure. Growing up hunting and fishing extensively in
coastal South Carolina, coupled with his vast experience in the African
bush has helped prepare the author with the ability to describe the
hunting scenes as they unfold as if the reader is right there on the
stalk. Cooper’s direct and straight to the point literary style will
keep you on the edge of your seat or laughing at the self deprecating
humor that makes the author your hunting buddy throughout this book. We
are all bushwhacked once Africa gets into our blood!
Johnny Cooper
