As Chris flew low over the Serengeti Plain, the emptiness of Africa hit him like a hammer blow. Ahead, unseen and unexpected, lurked a danger that would send the fragile plane crashing to the ground in flames.
The lives of both his father and the pilot depend on Chris, but he is watched and followed by an ageing, solitary lion on a journey of his own. Bound by a thread of common need, theirs is a strange, brief and unforgettable alliance.
