Death in a Lonely Land : More Hunting, Fishing, and Shooting on Five Continents

Rating:
Summary: Vintage Capstick
Review: Capstick is a pleasure to read. He takes a somewhat comical view of serious situations. Certainly keeps the reading from becoming too dry. I rank him right up there with Robert Ruark.

Summary: The inimitable Capstick at his very best.
Review: Capstick's magic lies in his ability to portray an incident so vividly that you feel the long grass brushing against your bare shins, you hear the roar of the lion as he charges, and feel the complete terror of the moment. Or, he might just take you for an afternoon of BB gun shooting, slipping you back into your own memories where you enjoyed simpler, but no less complete, pleasures. Death in the Long Grass belongs in the bookcase of every person who ever dreamed of a life of adventure

Summary: If you like adventure in the outdoors this book is for you.
Review: Peter Hathaway Capstick hits the literary nail on the head yet again in this sequel to "Last Horizons." While the stories in this book don't occur predominantly on the African continent as Capstick is known for, the action throughout is especially riveting, especially the stories from Central and South America. Having grown up in South America, I can vouch for the reality in the dangerous encounter Capstick has with the Argentine wild boar. I also enjoyed immensly his jaguar hunts and jounts in Brazil. Just reading this book made me want to go back to the place of my youth and have some of my own adventures! Stick with Capstick, he won't disappoint!
