A highly entertaining read and the perfect outdoorman's book who recounts the author's experiences during more than 40 years of conservation. This book is a collection of fascinating, humorous and thought-provoking stories, which give rare insight into the experiences of game rangers, conservationists and colourful characters of the Eastern Cape in a style that some say is not dissimilar to that of Herman Charles Bosman. De Villiers is larger than life in many ways (6ft6" Victor Matfield-like mould) and as the head of environmental law enforcement agency the Green Scorpions in the Eastern Cape was the scourge of poachers, owners of illegal cottages and dumpers of medical waste, and the nemesis of 4x4s and quad bike owners who go dune-bashing along the Wild Coast. The book is a no-holds-barred collection of De Villiers' experiences during his quest to protect the environment. It is a sure bet that many who have tangled with him and the Green Scorpions will earnestly check the pages to find out whether their names have been recorded for posterity. Softcover, 198 pages, 23cm x 16cm.
