About This Novel
At the end of the 19th century, British engineer Patterson came to British East Africa and participated in the construction of the railway from Mombasa in the east to Kisumu in the west. This 580-mile-long railway passes through swamps and deserts and spans several wide rivers. It was built entirely by manpower and involved a total of 35,000 people. Just as the project was in full swing in Tsavo, a pair of man-eating lions appeared, severely hampering the progress of the project. Their skills are so cunning that they can escape even if they are trapped in a huge trap surrounded by sleepers and iron bars and faced with a group of well-equipped soldiers only a few feet away. This incredible behavior has earned them the nickname "Night Demons". This human tragedy caused by two man-eating lions lasted for several months, claiming the lives of about a hundred people, and finally ended with Patterson's wit and perseverance.
