An Incredible Adventure Awaits in Daniel B. Botkin’s Debut Novel

Environmentalist Daniel B. Botkin’s love for life on earth has brought him far and wide to study some of the fascinating species in the African continent. This experience becomes a foundation of his first novel, “Tsavo: Oddball Researchers Use Data and Guns to Save African Elephants.”  With his artistic powers owing to his love for music and language, he has created a book that features elephants and other wildlife that will surely capture not just the readers’ minds but also their very hearts.
 
In this enthralling tale, readers follow a group of American and British scientists who went to Tsavo National Park in Kenya in order to conduct a jumbo census that aims to assess the park’s abundance. Their mission also includes protecting the endangered animals from aggressive poachers. But their excitement soon turns to fear as they get involved with the elephant poachers. To make matters worse, some elephants also turned against them. The men and women have to do everything to survive. Amidst the danger and the tension, several romances bloomed. Will they all make it out alive?
 
Dr. Botkin showcases his flair in telling stories with his intricate yet relatable language, one rich with metaphors and imagery. His knowledge on the African wildlife is clearly reflected in his writing, making it an absorbing foundation of the book.
