Malachite Lion

A Travel Adventure in Kenya

By: Richard Modlin

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This digital, newly edited version of Malachite Lion can be considered a personal history, life actualizing travel memoir; an unplanned adventure, a modern odyssey that recounts the mysteries and paradoxes of East Africa. Follow Modlin as he journeys through the crowded, bustling streets of Nairobi, into the wilds of Masai Mara and Amboseli, to ancient, mystifying Mombasa, electrifying Malindi, and the sensuous Seychelles. His experiences as a scientist and academic have provided him with the skills to record his provocative observations, interactions, experiences, feelings and thoughts that will transport readers beyond the confines of a tour bus. His encounters with native people and wildlife are poignant, humorous, heartwarming, and sometimes intimidating. Malachite Lion is a definite read for anyone who has ever dreamed of adventuring in Africa realistically and vicariously.
