Amazon.com Review

African Twilight details, in twelve stunning stories, the hunts, the danger, and the changing face of Africa over a span of three decades. It also traces the evolution of a hunter and the relationship with the professional hunters, the native Africans, the wildlife and the land, the Africa that was, and Africa as it is today. 208 pages with original woodcuts by Steven Daiber.

From Scientific American

Robert F. Jones weaves an intriguing tale of his safaris and reminds us, as so many before him have discovered, of the truth inherent in an old Arab proverb. That adage suggests that those who have once tasted Africa's wonders will be drawn there, like a moth to a flickering flame, time and again. This is a powerful book, one worthy of the literary legacy of such giants as Ruark and Hemingway who have written so wisely and well on Africa.

4.0 out of 5 stars Robert Jone's fairwell to Africa, September 4, 2001
By 
Richard L. Rice (Madison, WI, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: African Twilight: The Story of a Hunter (Hardcover)
Robert Jones has brought together 30 years of experience as a writer, big game hunter, and student of African culture into this highly readable, well written book. His hunting stories are exciting, true life adventures of he and his PH, mentor, and friend, Bill Winters. Jones shows that he is foremost a writer as he "tweeks" the imagination of the reader in several accounts of an occult and mystical Africa. Finally, a lover of the African wilderness, he ends with the current state of affairs and predictions for the future of his beloved Africa.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fine Book, March 30, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: African Twilight: The Story of a Hunter (Hardcover)
Jones takes us along on his various trips to Africa and describes not only the hunting but the vast changes that occur to the land and its people. Jones writes quite well and his stories make for fine reading. If you enjoy reading about Africa and/or hunting, you will very likely enjoy this book.
