Summary: Strange...
Comment: Hunter's Tracks is the story of an African white hunter who is involved in investigating and apprehending a middle man in the elephant poaching trade. Interspersed at frequent intervals are unrelated stories from Mr. Hunter's career. I found this to be a strange book on two accounts. 1) The main story is not as interesting as the stories which are mixed in, and Hunter agrees; 2) there is at least one story which I find to be a tall tale - a man killing two attacking leopards simultaneously with his bare hands. After reading "Hunter", the author's first book, which is superb, I was dissapointed with this one, although there are some good stories.
Rating: 5
Summary: Hunter gets his man
Comment: This is the third of John Hunter's books that I've read. This was better in some ways than either *Hunter* or *White Hunter*. The book begins with he and the District Commisioner trying to stop an ivory poaching ring and the troubles they're having in running the ring leader to ground. What's very pleasing is that during the inevitable lulls that accompany "detective" work, some current happening in the case sparks Mr. Hunter's memory and he digresses to tell some amazing tale from his past. You'll just have to read the book to find out if they get their man.
The last chapter was a marvelous account of a safari that he led for an Indian Maharajah. Despite his high royal position and wealth, he was quite a sport; such as when a lioness scampered of with a probable record Thomson's gazelle.
Overall, it is a good read and Mr. Hunter has yet to disappoint.
