"Very occasionally, a thrilling story of physical adventure involves the tantalizing mystery of an unusual personality. Bryan Dempster is probably the only white man who has hunted monster crocodiles in the depths of Africa not for sport, but for a living, devising special techniques and taking mortal gambles to make a go of it. Besides, Dempster is one of those strange, restless people who cannot stay long in civilization. Danger and the unneutral jungle, the cataracts and whirlpools of the Zambezi, hold him in perpetual bondage - even at the cost of health, wealth, and love."

This is Dempster's exciting, heartrending story as told to Lawrence Earl, one of the master reporters of our day.
