The Silence of Etosha
Book One of The Namib Frontiers Series
Simon Shield has spent his life reading stone, silence, and distance.
A geologist and prospector working across Namibia, he knows how quickly beauty can be turned into value - and how often remoteness becomes a cover for power. When a field assignment near Etosha begins to expose hidden transport routes, frightened workers, and evidence that something far darker than geology is moving through the concession margins, Simon is drawn into a conflict that reaches far beyond mining.
Beside him stands Elbereth: a compulsive reader, a fierce defender of the underdog, and a woman with no patience for moral fashion when real people are being crushed in silence. Where Simon reads land, she reads injustice - and neither is willing to leave the matter alone.
From Swakopmund and Walvis Bay to the fogbound coast and the long road north toward the Skeleton Coast, The Silence of Etosha is a sweeping Namibian story of danger, conscience, distance, and the fight to protect those powerful people hoped would remain unseen.
The first novel in The Namib Frontiers Series.
