About this listen

Critically acclaimed as a master of adventure writing for Death in the Long Grass and Death in the Silent Places, former professional hunter Peter Hathaway Capstick takes us back to Africa to encounter the world’s most dangerous big-game animals. After consulting African game experts and recalling his own experiences and those of his colleagues, Capstick has written chilling, authoritative accounts of hunting the five most dangerous killers on the African continent—lion, leopard, elephant, Cape buffalo and rhinoceros.

The classic big-game animals are unmatched as a test of a hunter’s skill and courage. With a command of exciting prose, Capstick brings us along on the chase. The warning snarl of a crouching lion, the swish of grass that reveals a leopard, the enraged scream of a wounded elephant, the cloud of dust that marks a herd of Cape buffalo, the earthshaking charge of a rhino are recreated in heart-stopping, nerve-racking detail. In Death in the Dark Continent, Capstick brings to life all the suspense, fear and exhilaration of stalking ferocious killers under primitive, savage conditions, with the ever present threat of death.

I love hunting, that’s why I purchased this book. Big game hunting is something I’ve never done but dream of someday being able to do. I must say though, if I showed up in camp and this guy was across the fire from me, talking like he does in the narration of this audiobook, I’d retaking the first jeep back to the airport. It’s something you’ll just have to experience for yourself but I’ve never disliked someone’s delivery so much as this guy. He tries to come across as clever but instead sounds like a pompous asshole. There are better books out there on the subject, I suggest trying them first.

Bring some crackers for all the cheesy one liners
