Zambezi Stories

... A story with science fiction and horror elements. The great discovery made by Yaz will turn both the world and her own world upside down. English is not my native language, so apologies for the mistakes in advance.

A brief description of Zambezi

Raised on isolated sugar plantations, from deep in the Zambezi valley inhabited by the two-toed Vadoma tribe, to the Kafue valley of the Batwa, and the Shire valley inhabited by the Chewa, Delta Papa is taught local traditions by the indigenous tribes, during an epoch when roads were tracks and communication was by word of mouth. Attending conservative boarding schools in the colonies he eventually emigrates to Europe. The calling for Africa is too great and he returns to run trucks in Mobutu's Zaire, and diving for sea-cucumbers in Mozambique and Somalia. As an emergency logistician with aid organisations, he describes the dangers, misery, passions and twists of fate, with a personal touch that will keep you riveted from start to finish.

Original short story - In 1885, British miners defy local warnings and blast into the Zambezi Gorge-disturbing something the Tonga say has lived there since the beginning of the river.
