Publisher Description
HAS BEN HOPE FINALLY MET HIS MATCH?
The master bestseller returns with the explosive follow up to STAR OF AFRICA. The second in a two-part series.
The adventure began in Star of Africa, now ex-SAS major Ben Hope is in the most desperate situation of his life…
Held hostage by a despicable tyrant in the heart of Africa, it’s not looking good for Ben Hope.
General Khosa’s lust for blood is matched only by his lust for power – and he wants to use Ben’s superior military skills to turn his rabble of inexperienced boys into an army of lethal soldiers.
If Ben refuses, Khosa will kill the person he loves most. If he cooperates, he’ll bring more death and devastation to the world’s most violent, war-torn nation.
Either way, Ben will have blood on his hands – unless he can defeat Khosa. It seems an impossible task. But for Ben Hope, anything is possible…

Down the drain
I don’t know who is now writing his books but these last two are unreadable. The senseless killing becomes the only plot line. I have read 6 of the previous books and enjoyed them. This one is just poor writing.

Don’t buy or read this. Report it instead. It’s filled with child abuse, gratuitous violence, obscene language and abuse. This is despicable writing and the publisher should be ashamed.
What a load of rubbish!
Far to much butchery. The point and plot could have been developed with half the gore. Seems like the author could not go far enough to make the bad guy really bad.
Then there is the fantasy showdown with a bunch of new guys showing up. In creative writing 101, they would discuss the new hero bursting on to the scene to save the day. It was a bad technique used to get the author off the hook for his ending.
Toooo much of a bad thing.
I would not spend a farthing on reading this.
