Único sobreviviente de la familia Ballantyne, Craig Mellow tuvo que salir de la tierra de sus antepasados, la antigua Rodhesia. Ahora se propone volver a ella para documentar la vida salvaje de la región con la ayuda de una joven fotógrafa. Claro que detrás de esta misión aparente debe investigar la caza clandestina de elefantes y el tráfico ilegal de marfil. This is the penultimate book in the Ballantyne series. The book opens, as all the others do, with a snapshot of the landscape. This time we follow a bull elephant and his desperate escape from hunters. It's a savage start to Leopard, but very typical of Smith and very telling of the rest of the story, for it's all about poachers. The story then follows Craig Mellow out of Africa and into the urban jungle of New York City. At the end of Angels Weep Mellow has just found out his book, Flight of the Falcon has been accepted for publication. Unlike other Ballantyne books in the series, Leopard does not start with a date. The reader is not grounded in the era until later. Of course, in order to make the story go back to Africa, Mellow returns to his homeland to revitalize his country and start a nature preserve with photographer, Sally-Anne. Typical of all Smith/Ballantyne books there is savage violence, passionate love scenes and gorgeous landscapes to draw every kind of reader in. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
