Abstract:
Against the backdrop of contemporary Africa, political prisoner Jean Mabito escapes from jail. Following his conscience, he sparks a revolution that attempts to sweep the corrupt blood-drenched tyrant from power. Clandestine political forces and even black magic, cynically observed by jaundiced diplomatic personnel, rally to his cause. Mabito joins with a disgruntled professional hunter and a beautiful English conservationist, who themselves are combating elephant poachers, in order to further his quest. Full of intrigue, political violence, blood diamonds, witchcraft and poaching, the tale of Mabito’s challenge reflects the mysteries of Africa and the passions of its people.
