The Hunter is Death by T.V. Bulpin is one of the most gripping true adventure accounts ever written about Africa. This unforgettable biography chronicles the extraordinary life of George Rushby — ivory hunter, prospector, game rancher, and fearless game ranger of Tanganyika.
Rushby’s greatest challenge comes when a wave of lion attacks terrorises the Njombe district. The villagers, convinced the killings are the work of a powerful witchdoctor, refuse to help. Alone in a hostile land, Rushby faces a cunning and deadly pride of man-eaters unlike any he’s encountered before. When tragedy strikes close to his heart, his quest becomes a personal battle of courage, cunning, and survival.
A vivid, real-life adventure filled with danger, superstition, and the untamed wilds of Africa, The Hunter is Death cements George Rushby’s reputation as ‘the prince of adventurers’ and offers a fascinating glimpse into colonial Africa’s most perilous frontiers.
