- Synopsis
- From the back of the book: The killing fields of Kenya! The Hardys join their father on an undercover mission into the African wild. On the trail of a multimillion- dollar smuggling operation, they're out to learn the fate of a missing U.S. Customs official. Thrust into a world of poisonous snakes and man-eating lions, the boys soon confront the most dangerous beast of all... Poachers armed with high-powered weapons are devastating herds of endangered species. Shocked by the slaughter, Frank and Joe are dead set on shutting the smugglers down. But they pay a terrible price for the truth: a tragic murder that will lead them out of Africa and into the most painful and perilous investigation of their lives! =============== From inside the book: STAMPEDE! Frank and Joe crouched down in the tall, dry grass. The large elephant herd was barely fifty feet away, drinking at the edge of the water hole. As the boys watched, an enormous female elephant left the bank and walked toward Dr. Bodine, lifting her trunk and trumpeting into the air. Dr. Bodine stepped forward to greet the great beast and stroked the animal's trunk. "Incredible," Joe said, shaking his head. "That elephant walked up to Doc Bodine like they were old friends." Frank nodded vaguely, then sniffed the air. "You smell smoke?" He turned around. Not far from where Dr. Bodine stood, thick clouds of black smoke rose above bright red flames. The grass was ablaze. "Fire!" Frank yelled. "And it's moving this way!" "That's not the only thing," Joe said, pointing toward the water hole. The elephants were panicking. Twenty-ton animals were moving toward them, running faster and faster to escape the smoke and flames. "The herd is stampeding," Joe shouted. "And we're right in their path!"
