      About This Book

      NOW AVAILABLE ON KINDLE FOR THE FIRST TIME!

      A man diagnosed with inoperable cancer sells his belongings to fulfill a lifelong dream to go on safari in Africa and hunt an elephant. But as he tracks the great creature, a bond forms between the hunter and the hunted, transforming the man and helping face his own death.

      "Beautifully, poetically wrought, this short novel echoes with a depth found in the best of fiction."--Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times

      "All that a reader might expect from this author is contained in this little allegory which stands with Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea--a modern, exciting story of heroic adventure that, like Melville's Moby Dick, contains the truths of living human selfishness and love."--Long Beach Press-Telegram
