Official OnlineBookClub.org portion of the review by Emily Jen, of "Justice of the Wild" by Michael du Preez.] I rate this novel a resounding 4 out of 4 stars and recommend it to readers above thirteen that are interested in fiction books about wildlife, poaching, mystery, and adventure.

In the twilight during a heavy storm, six hungry lions escape from the Lion Park near Johannesburg. They are now roaming free in suburbia. Tiny Terblanche and Brett van Jaarsveld, two cruel poachers watching the news, spring into action.They lure the predators to a field opposite the Park where they dart and capture four of the lions, one male and three females. They load the drugged animals into a van, to transport to their farm in Botswana.

Paul Patterson and his school friend Rampha Singh happen to witness the lion capture. Days later, they notice the same van at a fast food outlet and decide to follow it on their motorcycle. Tiny, driving the van, spots his followers, ambushes, kidnaps and abducts them to Botswana where he locks them up. His two American clients are also there to hunt their promised trophy lion.

That night, the boys break free and run off into the African bush. Tiny discovers their escape and enraged he sets after them in his jeep.They could ruin his plans.

In the bush the boys face their worst nightmares as they strive for freedom. A rogue lion also picks up their scent and trails them.

Both boys have love interests with girlfriends Debbie and Ayesha who are worried about them. They initiate a frantic search with the Park officials, the police and their parents.

The daunting family divorce issues Paul has to deal with, pales into insignificance when he and Rampha have to figure out how to escape from their nightmare.

This nail biting drama reveals the scourge of wild life poaching!
