Malachite: A Journey in Africa

The Malachite of the title is the dazzling green of the of the central African jungle so brilliantly described in this seven month journey. But green also describes the group of five young people who share a huge Bedford truck in their arduous trek from Cape Town to the Sahara and England. It's a deeply rewarding journey, however, for both reader and author. His powers of description will challenge anyone to resist the lure of Africa's wildlife and majestic scenery.
