Summary
Who sings for the lost country?
Dr Daniel Armstrong, ecologist and documentary maker, has dedicated his life to protecting Africa's animals and rain forests. But when a gang of poachers murders his childhood friend, Chief Warden of the National Park, and steals the government-protected ivory stores, Daniel's quest of passion becomes one of revenge.
As he calls on his expert knowledge and insider connections to investigate who ordered the savage killing, he will discover much worse than simple murder. There is a greed and corruption devastating the country, a greed which views every person and animal as something to make the rich even richer. Can Daniel save the place he loves from such a powerful, destructive hand?
An action-packed adventure of the destruction brought about by greed, from global best seller Wilbur Smith.

The story holds no surprises. Disapointingly predictable boy fodder even to the point of adding sexual perversion to titilate.
I had hoped to find a new author and genre so I'm disappointed - I'd class this as a poolside light read.

An amazingly powerful story.
No writer has ever made me cry with the beauty of their penmanship. the description of the two sister elephants was for me on a par with the greatest painter, or sculptor. I l9ved the whole story, Africa came alive for me. the narrator gets full marks too. Great book.

Thrilling against a political background of reality.
Good picturing of characters of very different cultural origins. A lively story of the possible destroying of tropical forests and ruthless hunting of elephants.

GREAT TALE, BUT.....
I love Wilbur Smiths stories, this one was no exception until I got to the end. He got to fight his enemy about 9 minutes before the end of the book and finally bested him LITERALLY seconds before the book ended!!!! like, what??????
The last sentence was, "he died, the end" type of thing. No wrapping up of the plot at all. I was gutted 😢

Chase through modern East Africa
A really great thrilling story by Wilbur Smith. Although written 30 years ago, still very topical. Excellent performance by Joe Jameson - where does he produce those voices from?!

I loved this audiobook. The story was great, fast paced and held some interesting facts. The narrator was brilliant and brought the characters to life. So good.

African adventure classic
Adventure filled story like we’ve come to be accustomed to from Wilbur Smith. Good mix of fictional and real places in the narrative keep the listener guessing as to where the story is set. Well narrated if you can get passed the tragically poor Swahili pronunciations.
