Media Reviews
Praise for Rogue Lion Safaris: 'Barnes has created a new category of adventure story, doing for safaris what Dick Francis has done for horse-racing, but better written' The Times 'An exceptionally good first novel' Mail on Sunday 'This novel is just about the next best thing to going on safari oneself, such is its evocation of place' Oxford Times 'It has the smell and feel of the bush... It is sad, it is true, and it is a good story' The Spectator
