THE LUNATIC EXPRESS: A Late 1800s African Safari Wilderness Adventure and Thriller

by N.W. MARTIN

In the wild heart of Tsavo, East Africa, a woman's search for her lost husband becomes a fight for her own life. It is the late 1800s. The British Empire is forcing a railway, a "Lunatic Express", through the untamed land. The project is built on sweat and blood. Nora Shaw arrives from London. Her husband James, a railway surveyor, has vanished. She is determined to find him. Her guides are practical men, not storybook heroes. Kibwe is a strong and serious head porter. Captain Redmond is a tough ivory hunter who works only for money. With them is Mwali, an old tracker who can hear secrets in the dirt. He knows something is following them, something more than just an animal. A simple rescue mission turns into a nightmare. The party is stalked by legendary "ghost lions," beasts of terrible cunning. They are hunted by Dolan, a brutal outlaw who steals men and stores dynamite in a mountain lair. In this dangerous land, friends must become family, and a civilized woman must learn the savage rules of survival to find the man she loves. The Lunatic Express is a story of reckless ambition, powerful loyalty, and the human spirit tested by a wilderness that shows no mercy. It is a historical thriller where every step could be your last.
