Description
Rod Parker is an adventurous young man who finds himself bored with his tedious job at a Pennsylvania steel mill. Then one day in the summer of 1900 he quits his job, leaves his long time girlfriend Elizabeth Durham and strikes out on his own to seek his fortune in the hunting fields of Africa. In Africa he lives out his childhood dream of making a living in the wilderness where he soon discovers that learning this trade the hard way can be an extremely dangerous pursuit, but he is a fast learner and of adventurous heart and he soon comes to realize his dream of wealth and earning a living with a rifle. In time he discovers that money cannot bring happiness and contentment as he lives a life of heartbreak and tragedy. Despite the loss of his wife and his best friend, he trudges onward in his restless pursuit of money and adventure. Then after fourteen years of hard work and heartache he finally discovers that true happiness lies in his relationship with others and not in the tremendous wealth that he has acquired. Ivory Hunter is a fast paced action/adventure tale of courage and loyalty set during the golden age of the ivory trade. Be with Rod and his faithful tracker on the trail of big bull tuskers and feel the tension as he levels his big bore express rifle on the dangerous beast bearing down on him.
