The Quintessence of the Wild (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781496982971)

After Seth Tzimbi had finished his schooling, his mother sent him to say good-bye to her father, a Khoisan cave painter. Animals and nature had always intrigued him, therefor he was elated when he had the chance of raising a tiger cub. Mitch Bourne, a Secret Agent who had rescued him and other children in Zimbabwe, en route to Nigeria (in "The Spiderweb") invited him to visit her in Great Britain. He wanted to become a Secret Agent, and make the world a better place to live in. At Oxford University he started to study Veterinary Science and proceeded with his studies at the legendary Padua University while Mitch obtained permission to train him as a Secret Agent. They were both sent to South Africa on a mission to catch poachers of ivory and rhino horn. Mitch fell in love with a fellow undercover Agent, Andrew Short. After romancing her, they were married. He was recruited as a medical doctor by Chinese smugglers. Seth, was passed off as a doctor and accompanied him. Mitch and Seths' two sisters were abducted by the poachers and sold to the Chinese. In Singapore, she was forced to kill two sailors when she and the girls escaped from the S.S. Shanghai. Unsure of what the future held in store, they returned to South Africa and picked up the threads of their lives.
