This audio version of J.H Patterson's The Man-Eaters of Tsavo, brought to you by the Peter Capstick Library Series, includes exclusive content from Peter H Capstick, author of the best-selling Death in the Long Grass and many other African adventure stories.

The Man-Eaters of Tsavo is the basis for the film The Ghost and the Darkness, starring Val Kilmer. We are proud to present this series of the greatest classics in the literature of hunting and adventure, chosen from the personal library of writer and big game hunter Peter Hathaway Capstick. These showcase volumes will once again make available the true masterpieces of Africana to collectors, armchair hunters, sportsmen, and readers at large.

Considered one of the greatest man-eating sagas of all time, The Man-Eaters of Tsavo is the firsthand account of the infamous Tsavo lions. These lions—who for nearly a year terrorized East Africa—succeeded in bringing the construction of a railway line to a complete halt, and have been credited with the deaths of some one hundred people.

Written by the legendary officer who shot these lions and risked death several times in the attempt, The Man-Eaters of Tsavo is not only the story of this breathtaking hunt, but of Lieutenant-Colonel Patterson's other adventures in the African bush.
