Book Excerpt
"She began to move warily in a circle as the men tightened the trap, and as they got closer the lioness began to stride and prowl in a circle so small that she almost seemed to be chasing her tail. But she was watching, watching while she turned and snarled, for a weakness in the ever-tightening ring of her pursuers. Then, at the moment the attack finally was sounded—when the men, putting down their drums and torches, charged on the run with their spears—the lioness saw what she was looking for. One of her enemies was smaller, weaker than the rest. There was a point in the strengthening line that could be broken! Thought merged with furious action and the beast, with a mighty bound of astonishing swiftness, darted toward Zan. Five hundred pounds of snarling fury sprang directly at him with claws bared and fanged mouth open!"

Written by a published professor of Art History, the Zan-Gah book series makes no concessions to those who would pamper or "talk down" to bright kids. It is rich in vocabulary, and mature in sentence structure. The adventures explore such meaningful themes as survival, culture, conflict resolution, gender roles, psychological trauma (ptsd), and the wonders and terrors of nature.
