Ivory

By: Tony Park

Narrated by: Mark Davis

Alex Tremain is a pirate in trouble. The two women in his life - one of them his financial adviser, the other his diesel mechanic - have left him. He's facing a mounting tide of debts and his crew of modern-day buccaneers, a multi-national band of ex-military cut-throats, is getting restless. A chance raid on a wildlife smuggling ship sets the Chinese triads after him and, to add to his woes, corporate lawyer Jane Humphries lands, literally, in his lap. Another woman is the last thing Captain Tremain needs right now - especially one whose lover is a ruthless shipping magnate backed up by a deadly bunch of contract killers. Meanwhile Jane finds herself torn between the crooked but charming pirate and her coolly calculating millionaire boss, George Penfold. Both are passionate, and both are dangerous. What Alex really needs is one last big heist - something valuable enough to fulfil his dreams and set him and his men up for life. When the South African government makes a controversial decision to reinstitute the culling of elephants in its national parks, Alex finds the answer to his dilemma - three tonnes of ivory.©2009 Tony Park (P)2009 Bolinda Publishing

I want more.

Tony Park's characters want you to follow them to other stories. The story line is well researched and the characters believable. You cannont resist the story of the pirate & the crooked ship owner. The twists are excellent & I look forward to yet another African adventure put to press by Tony. Well done.

Most enjoyable

This was a fast paced story which was edge of the seat at times. I loved the narration which was excellent. I listen in bed each night this book came between me and a good night's sleep!

great story, average narration

Great story from Tony Parks. Having just been to Mozambique I could picture all the areas from Moz to Johannesburg to Cape Town. I was disappointed that not more research was done into the pronunciation of South African names and towns by the narrator.

Fun!

Fun story. The narrator was good at pacing and bringing energy to the words, but some of his accents are poor to the point of being painful. South African English doesn't sound like Scottish English, and most Americans don't sound like cowboys.

Outstanding again

This is the third book from Tony Park that I have listened too and all are great from the start to finish. Mark Davis does an outstanding job as the narrator for all the books. The accents are excellent I can't wait for another addition from Tony Park
