A Certain Curve of Horn: The Hundred-Year Quest for the Giant Sable Antelope of Angola, by John Frederick Walker, is the essential account of the giant sable's story. A veteran journalist and writer with deep ties to Africa, Walker weaves together natural history, colonial history, and first-person adventure into a compelling and widely praised narrative. John is also the author of Ivory's Ghosts: The White Gold of History and the Fate of Elephants, an acclaimed account of the ivory trade and its profound impact on African elephants.
