The Zambezi Allies

By Edward G. Price

The Zambezi Allies" draws inspiration from "The Jungle Book," portraying animals with human voices. Set amidst the perilous African plains, Shoe Bills, Pangolins, Giraffes, and mysterious heroes unite as allies. The familiar lands face imminent peril, with enemies relentlessly pursuing the young lion. Against overwhelming odds, they embark on a mission to ensure the survival of the young lion against the indomitable force known as 'IT.'

This fast paced drama not only pulls heart strings, The Zambezi Allies also offers the reader a glimpse of real, fantastic wildlife that the savannah offers.

'He swallowed hard. He steadily made his way toward the tree; a shudder shot up his spine. Something odd lay at the foot of the trunk. Three small grey and olive shapes, heaped, in the quivering shadows; he squinted again into bright rays; monkeys - what were they up to? His eyes darted to a tall dark shape on a low branch that dominated all it surveyed; a yellow beak, long, bulbous and blurred grey and blue feathers of a figure appeared through gaps in blinding slants. He knew him. The figure was Tocus, the shoe-bill crane. At nearly four feet tall he was the tallest bird on the plains.'

''The porcupine had an invincible air about him, ghost-like, as if he was a mere spectator, invincible and untouchable by the horrors subjected to animals by illness, murder, theft or loss on the mortal plains.'
