Far Horizon

I can’t believe that I haven’t ever read a Tony Park before. I’m not sure how I missed out, but I will certainly be continuing. Having spent several months in Africa (albeit a different part of the continent), I loved the references to some of the African ways and it made the story come alive for me.<br /><br />I could do with less graphic detail of the sex scenes - I generally think going into minute detail in this area is unnecessary, and that was the case here as well.<br /><br />The storyline could also be said to be predictable, at least to a certain extent, but this didn’t really worry me. All in all, a good read, and I will look forward to my next Tony Park read!!

Set in Zimbabwe and Zambia, this is an action-packed adventure focussing on poaching - a major issue in Africa. While the plot was a bit thin at times, Park obviously knows Africa, it's people and its wildlife, which made this an enjoyable read.

Loved it great read, listened to it on audio book and highly recommend listening to it this way

Far Horizon is one of the earlier Tony Park novels I discovered and all I can say is What an absolute thriller. I couldn't put it down. I noted a comment on the back of the book, by the Australian way which simply said, (Watch your back Wilbur) and I couldn't put any better review as to my thoughts on this book than that, as it was actually Wilbur Smiths novel Eagle in the Sky that I credit with getting me into reading way back in 1975 and when there are fantastic authors such as Tony Park who continue to deliver absolute smashing page turners no wonder I developed a love for reading. <br /><br />When it comes to Australian authors, such as Tony Park, Peter Watt, and Michael Robotham, just to name a few. They provide the readers with some fantastic thrillers. Thank you guys keep up the fantastic work. <br /><br />I'm doing catch-up on your earlier novels Tony whilst hanging in there waiting for your next release.

I LOVED this book!! The book is well written and the story captured me, finished the book in just two days. But what really really got me, was all the descriptions about Africa. I’ve been to South Africa many times and want to go back for sure. Safari is something so magical and Tony Park knows just how to describe it precisely as it is. I recognized so many aspects of going on safari in South Africa and had a smile on my face so many times while reading the detailed descriptions of this country.

This was a very well written and fast moving plot. I recognise many of the places that Park mentions and I got the feel of the bush and the heat he described. I must say I found his writing compelling and his characters very real. However my only criticism was that the descriptions of violence and sex were graphic and left nothing to the imagination. Perhaps some like that, but a bit more subtlety, I think, could have enhanced the work.

Brilliant book. Right up my ally. Read this if you want action and adventure in Southern Africa to rip through your senses. I certainly helped my high rating that some of it is set in my childhood home town of Kariba.

A fantastic page turning thriller set in Southern Africa. Crime, corruption, poaching, adventure, brutality all mixed in with the beauty of the African wildlife and landscape. Another great book by the author.

Another successful book by Tony Park. Loved it and have a couple more now to read of his and looking forward to it. This was the 10th one of Tony's I've read and have enjoyed all of them. Not my usual type of read (especially at times a bit gruesome) but such wonderful storylines.

Absolutely brilliant! Well written and kept me wanting to read more. First time to read this author !
