by Tim Farren

American adventurer and safari guide Tim Flynn has worked in Zimbabwe for over twenty years. He thinks he is leading a routine safari for American tourists, until that is, a military coup in Zimbabwe turns his routine safari into a bloody game of life or death.

General Sibanda seizes the country by violence after the current president dies and takes control of the country. Sibanda's brutality targets not only some of his own people, but all foreigners and tourists. Tim Flynn recommends the entire group leave by walking overland thirty miles, through the bush, into neighboring Botswana. Some of the group disagree, and head to the airport on their own, ending with disastrous results.

With his group split apart, and in the line of fire, Tim Flynn must use all his resources and connections in an attempt to his clients safely out of the country...

Sibanda, set in Zimbabwe, and written by the first-time author, Tim Farren. Farren lived and worked in Zimbabwe for many years before trying his hand at writing. His experience in the country makes for a storyline with credible details of life from both the perspective of a guide and a tourist. In this tense page-turner, the characters face an emergency exit from the bush while on safari during a military coup. A fast read, packed with images of the bush that will leave you breathless.
