Revenge and extortion.In Southern California, Adolf, a man who looks like Hitler, vows, "Captain Baker, you will rue the day you testified." Adolf and his men go by descriptive nicknames. Needles, his addict son, Einstein, the bomb expert, Lefty, Muscles, Doc, and Cookie, his chef. Sunday evening a few hours after youth pastor, Daniel Baker, patches things up with his wife, Cindy, he is kidnapped. Monday evening, she is chloroformed, and their sons, Danny age five and Timmy age three, are kidnapped. Cindy and six-month-old Jonathan stay with Dan's adoptive parents Cap and Amanda for six days while Dan is forced to retrieve money extorted from corporations owning busy stores and markets throughout Orange County. Cap works with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to stop the criminals and rescue Dan and the boys, but their efforts to tail Dan or pass him a tracking device result in explosions. Chained, sedated at night, and tormented by Adolf, Dan fights anger, fear, and frustration while he waits for God to act but wonders if God will before or after Adolf kills him. Faith assures him that God will save Danny and Timmy.

This book places lion conservation and the relationship between people and lions both in historical context and in the context of the contemporary politics of conservation in Africa. The killing of Cecil the Lion in July 2015 brought such issues to the public’s attention. Were lions threatened in the wild and what was the best form of conservation? How best can lions be saved from extinction in the wild in Africa amid rural poverty, precarious livelihoods for local communities and an expanding human population? This book traces man’s relationship with lions through history, from hominids, to the Romans, through colonial occupation and independence, to the present day. It concludes with an examination of the current crisis of conservation and the conflict between Western animal welfare concepts and sustainable development, thrown into sharp focus by the killing of Cecil the lion. Through this historical account, Keith Somerville provides a coherent, evidence-based assessment of current human-lion relations, providing context to the present situation. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of environmental and African history, wildlife conservation, environmental management and political ecology, as well as the general reader.
