Alive

Animal conservationist Greg Rasmussen is tracking radio-collared rhino from his microlight plane. He flies lower and lower over the bush in an attempt to get a sighting of the rhino. In the hot thin air, Greg's plane suddenly loses its stability and spirals down into the harsh and hot savannah below.

He's hundreds of miles from habitation, with both legs smashed. He must survive the blistering heat with only the fuel soaked wreckage to shelter him from the scorching sun.

Then he must face the blackness of the African night, in the knowledge that he can't run from predators. It would be so easy to let death win. Staying alive needs not only a supreme act of will but every ounce of his specialist experience as a field biologist in Africa.
