Great Point Media, a diversified media and entertainment company owned by Emmy-Award-winning producers Jim Reeve and Robert Halmi have optioned The Lion Killer and all the Rigby Croxford books to develop a new and exciting television series. This larger-than-life African adventure is expected to be in production by summer 2022.

--------

James Gardner weaves both the brutality and the compassion of modern Africa into his thriller, The Lion Killer. His protagonist, Rhodesian war hero, Rigby Croxford is hired by the unscrupulous American litigator, Max Turner to rescue his son from Congolese Rebels after a peaceful safari to see the Mountain Gorillas turns into a bloodbath of rape and murder. Croxford is apprehensive about Max's hidden agenda, but it's too late to back out. The adventure has more twists than the Zambezi River with danger at every bend. He takes his readers through the visual wreckage of Zimbabwe to the genocide wreaking havoc in the Sudan. You will experience Africa's cruelty from a front row seat and you will discover the kindness of people who have nothing left but hope. You'll know the earthy smell of the bush veldt and the perfumed scent of a Ugandan jungle. The Lion Killer won't disappoint you. Start the Adventure Today

Gardner, James S. S.: - Seaplane pilot, sailor, scuba diver, fisherman, conservationist, world traveler and avid golfer, James Gardner could easily be the hero of his own book, The Lion Killer and the rest of the books in his Dark Continent Chronicles. Yet Gardner says his lead protagonist, Rigby Croxford, is a compilation of the extraordinary characters he's met on his annual trips within the toughest parts of Africa. He remains an ardent advocate for the lives of the people of Africa amid the ongoing injustices against them, their homeland and their lives. Raised in Florida, where he continues to live, Gardner took his first trip to Africa in 1968. He landed in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in the midst of the Rhodesian Bush War, which proved to be disconcerting when he confused body bags for golf travel bags at an airport. Flying to Entebbe, Uganda in 1972 proved even more disturbing when a riot ensued because Idi Amin declared that all Indians must leave the country. Gardner continues to go back to Africa. The resilience of the African spirit is his inspiration. Africans are superb survivalists. If they weren't, we wouldn't exist. Born in Albany, New York, Gardner moved to Florida in 1947. He attended the University of Kentucky and Florida Atlantic University where he received a BA degree and met his wife. They have a daughter and two of the best grand kids ever.
