International bestselling author Tony Park talks of a life shared between Australia and Africa; running from lions in your underwear; using writing to address post traumatic stress disorder; how stable government drives major social change;  and what it's like to write while serving in Afghanistan with the Australian Army. Tony is the author of 13 bestselling action adventure novels set across the wilds of the African continent, capturing the majesty and terror of a unique world of eco-terrorism, poachers, oil pirates and assassins. He's been labelled Australia's answer to Wilbur Smith and is also the author of five non-fiction works to date. Cruelly, he chose to kill the host of this podcast in one of his books... and it didn't affect his sales.
