The Burning Shore

Product Description

Centaine screamed & drove the point of her stave down into the jaws with all her strength. She felt the sharpened end bite into the soft pink mucous membrane in the back of its throat, saw the spurt of scarlet blood, & then the lion locked its jaws on the stave & with a toss of its flying mane ripped it out of her hands & sent it windmilling out & down to hit the earth below.' The passionate love of a beautiful French aristocrat for a courageous South African aviator is begun & extinguished in the blazing skies of war-torn France. But Centaine de Thiry is bent on realizing some of the dreams which she & Michael Courtney had shared
- & sets out to seek a future for his unborn child in the country of Michael's birth. But in a monumental odyssey of disaster & adventure she must first brave all the combined terrors of war, shipwreck, thirst, fever & the burning vastnesses of Namibia's Skeleton Coast before she sees another living soul.
