A thorough travel guide, brimming with character, for bother independent visitors and those on organised tours to Madagascar.

Lavishly illustrated and completely updated, this fourth edition of Bradt’s Madagascar Wildlife is a celebration of the island’s extraordinary flora and fauna, 90% of which is endemic. The pace of change in Madagascar's biodiversity is staggering, over the past decade a new species of frog has been discovered at a rate of one every six weeks, and this is the only guide to keep abreast of such scientific developments. Containing over 280 colour photographs, updated information on 22 of the country’s top parks and reserves, plus lively species descriptions, this handbook is perfect for natural history enthusiasts and travellers alike.  

Brice Dunn faces a challenging recovery after surviving a violent attack that left him in a coma for ten days. As he struggles to heal, he grapples with the disappearance of his pregnant girlfriend, Mary, who was present during the incident. The situation worsens when authorities link her to a dangerous human trafficking ring operating in a secluded Colorado community, complicating Brice's journey to reclaim his life and find Mary.
