Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. As thrilling as any novel, as taut and exciting as any adventure story, Peter Hathaway Capstick's Death in the Long Grass takes us deep into the heart of darkness to view Africa through the eyes of one of the most renowned professional hunters. Few men can say they have known Africa as Capstick has known it--leading safaris through lion country; tracking man-eating leopards along tangled jungle paths; running for cover as fear-maddened elephants stampede in all directions. And of the few who have known this dangerous way of life, fewer still can recount their adventures with the flair of this former professional hunter-turned-writer. Based on Capstick's own experiences and the personal accounts of his colleagues, Death in the Long Grass portrays the great killers of the African bush--not only the lion, leopard, and elephant, but the primitive rhino and the crocodile waiting for its unsuspecting prey, the titanic hippo and the Cape buffalo charging like an express train out of control. Capstick was a born raconteur whose colorful descriptions and eye for exciting, authentic detail bring us face to face with some of the most ferocious killers in the world--underrated killers like the surprisingly brave and cunning hyena, silent killers such as the lightning-fast black mamba snake, collective killers like the wild dog. Readers can lean back in a chair, sip a tall, iced drink, and revel in the kinds of hunting stories Hemingway and Ruark used to hear in hotel bars from Nairobi to Johannesburg, as veteran hunters would tell of what they heard beyond the campfire and saw through the sights of an express rifle. An account of the adventures of a big-game hunter offers glimpses of man-eating leopards, fear-maddened elephants, charging buffalo, cunning hyenas, and other great killers of the African bush country.

Hardback: 7½" x 5". Condition: Good: Moderate signs of wear. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. © 1957: A stand-alone novel by John Christopher. 1st edition, 1st printing hardback. A part of the 'Novels Of Tomorrow' series of books. Ex-library book with markings to inside front cover. Cover was taped to book at some stage, but is now loose. Old tape marks to inside boards & light foxing to text block. Protected by new Brodart jacket cover:- Synopsis: The title of this 'Novel Of Tomorrow' gives a pretty clear idea of the plot: but it gives no hint of the exciting quality of the story, nor of its originality. For it is original to forgo all the well-tried familiar science-fiction properties - Space-Travel, Time-Travel, Super-Gadgets and Super-men and be content with England's green and pleasant land. It is original for an author to open his story leisurely, with such loving detail; to give the reader ample time to know and like the characters; to remember how beautiful England is; to hold back so skilfully and for so long his author's knowledge of the horrors to come. But the trick makes the book. The reader is invited, as it were, to come for a gay sleigh-ride with the characters: and, as the party glides off, the slope is so gentle that the sleigh scarcely seems to move. But already, to right and left, the look of the land is changing, and all of a sudden the reader finds himself breathless with excitement, racing down a dangerous hill at top speed, escaping danger and disaster at every turn and curve. And it is not only the landscape which alters. The characters reshape themselves under the reader's eyes and not until the final moment of the wild adventure does he know whether the end will be total wreck or a safe slowing down in a land where the grass once more grows green and pleasant:- (original cost 10'6).
