"True Believer" - Jack Carr It's the second book in the "Terminal List" series. The first book "Terminal List" was made into a series on Amazon Prime starring Chris Pratt. The books, as is usually the case, are even better. I mention "True Believer" because a large chunk of it takes place in the Niassa Reserve on the Lugenda River. Having hunted there I found the descriptions of the area and more importantly the portrayal of the benefits of hunting to an area's anti-poaching efforts to be outstanding.

I'm just starting to read the TL. The series was so weird and far too many flashbacks. I had someone I trust tell me to read the book. Formerly "Nganga" | |||

I still liked the series but the book is far better and the story line slightly different. Steve, I think you will really like the second one as well. It's obvious that Jack Carr either hunted the Niassa or spent a fair amount of time there in a hunting camp and the field. ______________________ DRSS ______________________ Hunt Reports 2015 His & Her Leopards with Derek Littleton of Luwire Safaris - http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/2971090112 2015 Trophy Bull Elephant with CMS http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/1651069012 DIY Brooks Range Sheep Hunt 2013 - http://forums.accuratereloadin...901038191#9901038191 Zambia June/July 2012 with Andrew Baldry - Royal Kafue http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7971064771 Zambia Sept 2010- Muchinga Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4211096141 Namibia Sept 2010 - ARUB Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6781076141 | |||

I read the book. The research is excellent. He described coming ashore in Pemba quite descriptively. He described getting a charter to the Niassa.. Living there with the Rhodesian fam.. Anti poaching using military training It is excellent… Then the readers need to read about Montana Biy the books boys… | |||

I have listened to Carr's books while exercising. One of the three books talks about his father buying him a D'Arcy Echols rifle and him using it. Agree with the comments describing Mozambique. Carr has been there and done his research. I heard an interview that Carr did. If I remember correct, Carr hunted and shot a buffalo in Niassa as part of his research. | |||

I’ll definitely be reading these books on my return. Im in Pemba waiting for our charter flight into Niassa for a 10day multi buffalo hunt. Can’t wait to get there. | |||

Definitely read the books before watching the TV series. I wonder if they will even include the Mozambique section in the second series of the TV series. If you read the reviews of his books, a lot of SEAL want-to-be types didn't like Mozambique interlude in the second book. | |||
