FAR IN THE WILDS is a short 54-page prequel to Deanna Raybourn’s novel, A SPEAR OF SUMMER GRASS. Really, this novella is just an appetizer for things to come, and a good one at that. The setting is Kenya at the end of World War I, and I was captivated by the gorgeous descriptions of the African savanna.

Readers are introduced to to Ryder White, a Canadian living in Africa, as he guides a spoiled Danish prince and his mistress on safari. At this point, Ryder comes off as a little lost and a little brooding, independent, yet searching for something.

This was an exciting story that left me wanting to know more about its unique setting and enigmatic hero.

“Africa is a land of dreams and memories. It is rifts of remembrance stitched together with the sighs of time.”

I liked this short novella that tells us the story of what happened to Ryder on that safari with the Dutch prince in which he was nearly killed by a black leopard. I read this after A Spear of Summer Grass, so I was able to appreciate the characters a bit more for I already knew them. I'm glad I read it in that order, but I suppose it would be just as good the other way around too. Good descriptions and evocative. (

All I can say about [a:Deanna Raybourn|156327|Deanna Raybourn|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1364498528p2/156327.jpg] is that she is a temptress. I enjoyed this book, especially getting to know Ryder White, but the book is a total cliff hanger. I want more and I want it NOW. As usual, well written and interesting. I keep wondering if Nicholas and Julia will show up or be mentioned. (
