If any of you want something out of the usual, hunt for books by Daniel P. Mannix. Hunting as if told by Ian Fleming.


I initially read "Killers in Africa" when I was about ten years old and was enthralled. Since then, I've reread it dozens of times and never fail to enjoy Lake's stories. Although I suspect that "Killers" is long out of print, a friend gave me a signed copy of it as a gift.

With respect to Daniel P. Mannix, his "Those About to Die" is wonderfully entertaining, although it's an account of Roman gladiators, rather than about hunting.
