David Alec Wilson
242 pages~4 hr 50 min read83 chapters$4.99
A tiger can vanish in daylight ten feet from a hunter. David Wilson gathers hair-raising anecdotes of big cats: narrow escapes, tigers in the trees, close-quarters charges, and the strange cunning of the jungle's great predators. Storytelling with claws still in it. Settle in for tales where the tiger usually wins.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
