Adapted into a Disney motion picture!A RAW SAGA OF RUGGED AFRICAAklilu had raised the cheetahs since they were cubs. Together they had hunted the flat, fiery African plains, battling everything in their path-from savage bands of baboons to roaring floods, from warlike Somalis to hot, steaming jungles.Now they faced their deadliest foe of all time-the crafty Indian trader. He had duped Aklilu into trading his prized cheetahs for a bulky and worthless pocket watch, and now Aklilu had to abide by the trade.What could Aklilu do? Sacrifice his honor, or the sleek, young cheetahs that he held so dear?
