Four apprentice filmmakers. Two starving brothers. A village under attack—and a no holds barred fight for survival.
The Dread Lions of Rufiji is the heart-stopping first book in the Sons of the Serengeti series—a gripping, action-packed survival story set in the raw and unforgiving African wilderness, perfect for fans of Gary Paulsen's Hatchet.
When two 'man-eaters' target the villages of the Rufiji River basin, four teenage boys end up as the guards at the gate.
Growing up in a film camp in the Serengeti, Jack and Vincent have faced danger all their life. But nothing has felt quite like this. These lions are desperate, aggressive, and getting bolder with every attack. And this time, Jack's thirteen-year-old brother Hugo has tagged along, determined to keep up no matter the cost. Newcomer, Georgi, burns to prove that he can handle whatever’s thrown at him.
What none of them expect is just how hard the fight will become. How far they will be pushed. One disaster compounds the next until the boys find themselves cut off, no comms, and no backup. As the attacks grow more frequent and more vicious, survival may only come at a heavy price...
Every choice has consequences.
- Jack has to learn that charging in headfirst can get people killed
- Vincent has to make the right calls when everything is going wrong
- Georgi has to earn his place—or die trying
- Hugo has to find out if he's really as ready as he believed
The lions don't care about any of that. They're smart. They're starving. And they're not stopping. Their roars say it all:
"Who is the Lord of this Land ... I am ... I am ... I am ..."
From the sweeping grasslands of the Serengeti to the dense, treacherous riverbanks of the Rufiji, this adventure novel delivers relentless tension, authentic African wildlife detail—delving deeper into the reality and difficulty of predator conservation—and deeply human characters you'll root for from the first page to the last.
The Dread Lions of Rufiji will have your heart hammering, your palms sweating, and your eyes racing ahead to find out—do they make it out in one piece? The answer is not what you might expect...
