Synopsis
Where Ex-SAS Major Ben Hope goes, trouble always follows...
Ben Hope is trained to identify danger, so when he finds out that someone very important to him is working on a US container ship in the treacherous seas off the East African coast, he fears the worst. Within days, the ship is hijacked by pirates. Taking matters into his own hands, Ben embarks upon the most daring rescue mission of his career... because this is no ordinary hostage situation.
There is something on board the ship that’s more precious than life itself – and a bloodthirsty tyrant will kill to possess it.
As events spiral out of control, Ben’s skill and resourcefulness will be tested like never before. Ben would die to protect those close to him, but in a hostile environment, against ruthless warriors, even the ultimate sacrifice might not be enough . . .
Star of Africa is the first part of an epic two-book sequence that culminates in the all-action sequel The Devil’s Kingdom.
Will Ben escape from the clutches of the worst enemy he’s yet encountered, and save the lives of those nearest him?
Read it and find out...!

‘Quite simply, the most ferocious and brutal book in the Ben Hope series yet, and it’s a page-turning stunner of a read. The second in the sequence, The Devil’s Kingdom, really can’t come soon enough!’
