TUESDAY ~ Book Review : 29

                    THE DELTA BY TONY PARK

                                                                     

Tony Park writes brilliant thrillers which have an environmental theme plus enough twists and turns to keep you riveted to the last page. His latest, The Delta, is set in Botswana Delta. After a failed assassination attempt on the president of Zimbabwe, mercenary Sonja Kurtje has to go on the run and turns to her childhood home in the Okavango Delta. But her beloved Okavango is under threat by the construction of a dam in Namibia. 
Sonja is recruited to work with an eco-terrorist group determined to stop the dam going ahead. All of this is complicated by the men in her life - her former childhood sweetheart and safari camp manager, Sterling; Martin, her mercenary commander; and a TV wildlife presenter called "Coyote Sam" who gets lost in the bush during a reality show gone wrong. A stunning and breathtaking finale is in store for the reader!
