Mystery, pursuits of every kind, danger, life and death situations regularly, African big game hunting, politics from Europe, Africa, and the US, romance and scheming just about summarizes this historical fiction book for me.
Colonel and President Teddy Roosevelt embarks on a year long safari to procure big game animals for the Smithsonian. His son, Kermit, accompanies him. An old girlfriend shows up and what he do with her surprise appearance?
Roosevelt is a relentless pursuer of big game and risks life and limb for his goals. His personality comes out in this book.
The African tribes, wars and political entanglements are frightening and described well.
You’ll be riveted to the story. Enjoy!
