Here's the set-up:
Luke Merritt is the tenacious director of an ambitious conservation
effort located in the jungled heart of the Congo River Basin. In the
newly formed Kigogo Wildlife Reserve, where the scythe of death takes
the form of microscopic flesh-eating organisms as easily as it does
enormous crocodile, the inhospitable dark and swampy forest has kept it
isolated from the bullets and blades of warlords that have taken so many
lives in the region.
One month before the Reserve dedication ceremony, a guide is shot
and killed. Most dismiss it as a random encounter with bushmeat hunters
and another example of the daily violence that has gripped the country
for centuries. But Merritt isn’t as willing to let the death go
unexplained and unpunished. Has the violence finally arrived in Kigogo,
or is there an entirely new presence in Central Africa?
With aid from an unlikely source, Merritt embarks on a dangerous
journey into the Reserve and uncovers a crime that could have grave
impact around the globe. A frantic chase through the interior of the
Democratic Republic of Congo will decide Merritt’s fate, and for
millions of people, life lies in the balance.
One Reviewer Notes:
Descriptive and erudite, THE RESERVE is a entertaining read, a thriller set in the exotic environs of the Kigogo Reserve. In honesty, I did find certain stretches of prose a bit dry, yet Barbieri never leaves the reader lost in the jungle of technical information. I can confidently say that you will come away from THE RESERVE not only decently satisfied but also beholding interesting background concerning the African Wilds and international intrigue that can plague it.

A researcher studying memory in elephants, Alice is fascinated by the bonds between mother and calf—the mother’s powerful protective instincts and her newborn’s unwavering loyalty.

Then she finds an orphaned young elephant in the bush and cannot bear to leave the helpless baby behind. Thinking back on her own childhood, and on her shifting relationship with her mother, Alice risks her career to care for the calf. Yet what she comes to understand is the depth of a parent’s love.
