...football for shaving points, fired as a gigolo when he beats up his patroness and thrown into a prison that might give Papillon pause after he steals-and totals-her car. Indeed, his lot is even less happy than the typical inmate's at Citrus State Prison.

Buddy, just out of high school, works in a summer resort, tries running a roulette game on the sly, is hoodwinked into smuggling heroin for a fat-fingered hood, concocts on his own all sorts of wild-eyed...

For six years Ross had been chief warden of the Kidepo Valley National Park, 500 sq. mi. of wilderness near the border of Sudan and Kenya. Animals roam free there under park protection, but are in danger from poachers. Outside the park, a conflict splutters and periodically burns between Uganda and Tanzania, like the brushfires that menace the park itself...
