Killing Ground

by Phil Bowie

Corporate pilot Zeke Blades learns that his friend and former flight instructor Ben Stone has gone missing while flying humanitarian missions in Africa for Global Health Resources. Zeke travels there in search of Ben. He meets enigmatic Tanzanian beauty Liana Sekibo and a small cadre of anti-poaching vigilantes known as the Mambas. Zeke is drawn into a fight against a vicious gang of poachers led by the notorious outlaw Muhammadu Raza, who feeds profits from illegal ivory to al-Isra, a radical Islamist group plotting to seize Uganda. If they’re not stopped, their caliphate will wreak havoc throughout central Africa.

Reviews

[William Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book by Phil Bowie. This one is an eye opener on the black market ivory trade that has brought one of our most intelligent social animals to the brink of extinction. This is a book you will want to pass on to your friends - not just for their reading pleasure but to help spread awareness of this sad tragedy. All of Mr. Bowie's books are good reads and this one in particular is particularly moving. Highly recommended!
