About the author

Nicholas Proffitt's novel Gardens of Stone was based on his service as a member of the 3rd U.S. Infantry detachment detailed to serve as the honor guard at Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington, D.C. After his military service, he graduated from the University of Arizona with a journalism degree and went to work for Newsweek as a reporter, subsequently working in Vietnam and Lebanon. He eventually rose to the position of Newsweek's Bureau Chief in London and, later, Nairobi; he retired in 1981 and devoted his time to writing book-length fiction and short stories.

Reviews

[Shirley · Rating 3 out of 5]

Bought this book at a library sale and selected it because the subject is something I am not familiar with. Obviously written by a male of our species, it tells the tale of a retired big game hunter chasing even bigger game. I learned a lot about Kenya, the various tribes that inhabit it, and animal poaching and also about the corruption that runs rampant.

It was a good read, but to be honest my attention was completely in the book from about half way straight to the end. It was a good ending and left me thinking who the person with Dada could be.
Good story line.
