"William Louis Gardner has written a powerful, thrilling and engaging novel that brilliantly explores the endangered elephant herds of Africa." -Martha Smilgis  Executive Producer of Extra"William Louis Gardner is a storyteller par excellence. I simply could NOT put this book down. Based on the true story of "Ahmed", a legendary African tusked elephant, he is recorded as one of the largest and most majestic of the species. This book recounts the illegal  slaughter of countless elephants for precious ivory tusks. Gardner has woven an exciting tale of intrigue, romance and the pervasive cruelty and greed that permeates the African culture to this day.Tightly written in short explosive chapters, this book describes the complexity and hardship endured by those seeking to protect these unique animals. Based on existing conditions, the reader is transported to the very heart of the Kenyan society and their frustrating efforts to control this "invasion of destruction".This battle for survival, joined by the protagonist, Astrid, follows her extraordinary efforts to gain the upper hand in this never-ending struggle."The Games End" is an entertaining and enlightening read. It is truly a page-turner! It has my hearty recommendation." - George B. Levine P.H.D. 

"In William Gardner's new book he puts you in the Picture!  Because he has been there and experienced all of East Africa first hand he writes with a clarity, simplicity that flows magically just as does life in East Africa, I could not put it down,  and was sorry when it ended. But hopefully there will be a sequel." -Samuel Carson
