(PRWEB) May 7, 2005 -- The Zambezi Incident is an adventure novel set in current events. Its main character is an African professional hunter named David Collins who has unwittingly become the target for al-Qaeda terrorists.

The Zambezi Incident begins on a big game safari in the African bush which ends in a deadly encounter with al-Qaeda smugglers. This thrilling story has its foundations in al-Qaedas widespread involvement in the trade of Africas blood diamonds" and in a worldwide diamond market which is indifferent to its sources.
Al-Qaeda operatives relentlessly pursue the professional hunter as he attempts to sell the diamonds in Europe and to establish financial arrangements which the terrorists cant trace. His journey continues to the Cayman Islands where he finalizes his financial arrangements and has an affair with a vivacious Scottish lawyer.

Leaving the Cayman Islands, David arranges a rural refuge in the United States. Once he has established his refuge, he invites Sharon, his beautiful Zimbabwe lover, to join him. She is tracked by the terrorists in Africa and a team of al-Qaeda killers continue their pursuit when she arrives in Atlanta.

When the professional hunter and his lover elude them once more, al-Qaeda becomes even more focused on revenge than on recovering its diamonds. Their revenge leads them to a brutal interrogation and a double murder which begs to be avenged.

There are no heroes in the world of the Zambezi Incident. It tells of corrupt African politicians and police, diamond buyers who are disinterested in the diamonds source, financial institutions which exist to make money untraceable and religious fanatics who believe that mass murders are their path to paradise. The professional hunters main motivations are financial gain and his desire to leave a country which has become an economic disaster. He eliminates al-Qaeda operatives with less emotion than he displays when killing dangerous animals.
