Book excerpt: Just when Henry Feller thought his life was made and he could kick back and spend his days hunting and taking care of his grandmother, he was challenged to take on the safest assignment of his career. It would be so simple, just go and cover a trade exposition. See some old friends again. Write a book about it when he returned home. Life never turns out the way we think it will. For Henry, that safe assignment lasted nearly seven years, most of them in mortal peril, on two continents and on both sides of the Great War. The experience changed the world, and Henry, fundamentally. And nearly forty years and another World War later, Henry was compelled to go back and relive some of the worst days of his life for the best of reasons. Haunted by what he knew and what he saw and what he had to do. It was, for all of Henry's days, a great expedition, a Haya Safari.
