Just finished the book this morning (got it yesterday morning). This looks like a movie in the making. As an avid hunter and shooter myself I really appreciate the details. There is the true contrast between humanity and civilization relating to all of the classes of people detailed. The characters come to life with true authenticity and fervour and the battle of Good v. Evil rages on. The ending was wonderfully done and I enjoyed the book from cover to cover (so to speak.) The book is a must have for any hunter/shooter and the story is excellent. I must have a copy for my collection and and I fully intend to send copies to friends of mine. Truly one of the best reads I have had in a while all BS aside. Thanks for the opportunity to preview it and it was indeed well written. Here's your quote," No questions...a gotta have book!"

First, the book is fantastic, right up there with the best thrillers I've ever read. The story keeps buzzing. The plot, the facts (equipment, region, etc), and (perhaps most impressively) the characters are all engaging and consistent. I haven't made a list of all the aspects that struck me as exciting and well thought out, as the list would run to pages. Dangerous Game is a powerful, thoughtful and polished thriller. It's rare to find a book that combines excitement, believable characters and hardcore hardware the way Dangerous Game does.

Dangerous Game is gripping! Mr. Hollway has done a fantastic job of bringing forth a story that needed to be told! His grasp on African Politics is excellent!

Dangerous Game is one FANTASTIC read.
Its gritty, its real, its brutal ... it's Africa. (T.I.A.)
I think that unless one has lived there, it's not easy to understand the `mentality' and politics.
This is a "shooter's" story, with lots to engage the imagination.
Warning: this is not a fairy tale, it is an Honest tale that flows quickly and will take you into places that will make your hair stand on end.
I can't wait for his next book!

This book is nonstop excitement gives you the the feeling of actually being there. While most books and movies tend to be politically correct on the subject of modern Africa Dangerous Game does not go that route but instead takes the reader on a safari that National Geographic would not dare go. On this this journey you will see the corruption, aids, drug smuggling, violence, and other things that would have Kipling spinning in his grave. I first heard of this book on sniper [...] and after reading the reviews and excerpts I was intrigued enough to buy the book and can't put it down Don Hollway is an excellent writer and look forward to reading more of his books.

I really enjoyed reading the novel. It seems to have captured certain themes of Africa rather accurately. I could readily identify with the descriptions and the way in which the characters played their parts. They, the dust, and the chase are real, and tangible to any person who has Africa in their soul.

Africa. Big game hunting. Army style. In this book Don tells the story of a Delta Force sniper that has major troubles in the streets of Mogadishu. In the aftermath he leaves the army but returns to Africa. As Don puts it "This is NOT Hemingway's Africa"! Drugs, corruption, wealthy man with his own private army, beautiful ex-Spetnaz sniper and ...well heck I ain't gonna tell you the whole story!!
Somali warlord, Kenyan government officials, CIA - gee them AGAIN - and real animal wildlife, and that's just the first few chapters!
What a read!!!

Set against a vivid African background, Hollway's DANGEROUS GAME is an fascinating account of international intrigue.

I could not stop reading. Hollway's knowledge of firearms shows in the writing. I'm sitting here wondering if something like this could really happen!
