"The third book in the Mbuno & Pero series pulls terror from headlines to create a gripping international thriller for readers of The Sandman. Expert safari guide Mbuno and wildlife television producer Pero Baltazar are filming on Lake Rudolf in Northern Kenya, East Africa, when they receive news that Mbuno's son, himself an expert guide, has been kidnapped while on a safari five hundred miles away in Tanzania. After gathering clues and resources needed to track through the wilderness, they trace the kidnappers back to an illegal logging operation, clear-cutting national park forests, manned by sinister Boko Haram mercenaries. There, they find not only Mbuno's son, but also missing girls, held captive by Boko Haram. Relying on Mbuno's legendary bush skills, the pair must overcome the danger both from inside and outside the camp to bring Mbuno's son and the girls all out alive. In doing so, Mbuno and Pero discover that kidnapping and deforestation are only the beginning of the terrorist group's aspirations, and they realize a threat that would herald an even more dangerous outcome for Tanzania-a coup. In saving the captives, they just might risk the entire stability of the region. Exciting and expertly plotted using facts ripped from news' headlines, Kidnapped on Safari is a gripping, edge-of-your-seat thriller set in deepest, darkest, Machiavellian, East Africa"--
