There are dangers at every step, many of which catch Shankar unawares. A ferocious volcanic eruption, a labyrinth of caves and savage man eating lions. Shankar is in for a life - altering experience, only if he manages to stay alive. Will Shankar survive unscathed? Would he ever be able to return to his home? Racy and thrilling, this African odyssey will virtually transport the reader to some of the most exciting and perilous locations of the continent.
