About this series
Sonja Kurtz – former soldier, supposedly retired mercenary - is in Vietnam carrying out a personal revenge mission when her daughter sends a call for help.
Emma, a student archaeologist, on a dig at the edge of Namibia’s Etosha National Park has discovered a body dating back to the country’s liberation war of the 1980s.
The remains of the airman, identified as Hudson Brand, are a key piece of a puzzle that will reveal the location of a modern day buried treasure - a find people will kill for. Sonja returns to the country of her birth to find Emma, who since her call has gone missing.
Former CIA agent Hudson Brand is very much alive and is also drawn back to Namibia to finally solve a decades-old mystery whose clues are entombed in an empty corner of the desert.

1
Nach einem gescheiterten Attentat auf den Präsidenten von Simbabwe ist die zur Söldnerin gewordene Ex-Soldatin Sonja Kurtz auf der Flucht und begibt sich an ihren einzigen Zufluchtsort, das Okavango-Delta im Herzen von Botswana. Sie möchte ihre Jugendliebe, den Safari-Camp-Manager Sterling Smith, wiederfinden, einen Neuanfang wagen und ihr gefährliches Leben als Kriegerin hinter sich lassen. Doch Sonja entdeckt, dass ihr geliebtes Delta am Rande der Zerstörung steht. Sie wird als ›Öko-Kommando‹ rekrutiert, um ein Projekt zu stoppen, das das empfindliche Netz der Sümpfe und Wasserwege des Deltas für immer zerstören wird. Schon bald findet sich Sonja in einem tödlichen Netz aus Intrigen wieder, in das Sterling, ihr Söldner-Kommandant, der gut aussehende Martin Steele und der TV-Superstar und Moderator einer Naturdokumentation, ›Koyoten-Sam‹ Chapman verwickelt sind, der in einer schief laufenden Reality-Show aus dem Busch stolpert. Anstatt ihrer gewalttätigen Vergangenheit zu entkommen, ist Sonja nun von Männern umgeben, die sich auf ihren Killerinstinkt verlassen. Wo sie eigentlich Frieden finden wollte, herrscht nun Krieg. Es geht um viel mehr als das Überleben des Deltas ... »Ein actiongeladener Abenteuerroman von einem Autor, der Wilbur Smith den Titel des ›Meisters des afrikanischen Thrillers‹ streitig macht .... Das Tempo ist halsbrecherisch, auf jeder Seite entkommt man knapp dem Tod, und der Charme ist ansteckend.« Daily Mail, Großbritannien
