An extraordinary, passionate and personal journey into Africa's past. 'The most enthralling account out of Africa for years.' Daily Mail. '?Livingstone's Tribe? is excellent...Taylor is an intelligent and stimulating companion.' Financial Times 'At the book's heart is a riveting examination of Livingstone's tribe...the whites of post-independence Africa.' Independent on Sunday 'Taylor's expedition into the interior of the continent's colonial past has got everything that such a book should have.' Guardian 'Stephen Taylor, a third-generation émigré of British descent, finds a melancholy collection of white misfits and failures...as well as a heroic, dwindling clutch of missionaries still holding the line. The catalogue of theft, corruption, murder and superstition that Taylor chronicles makes appalling, fascinating reading. Yet Taylor is no Colonel Blimp, rather an anti-apartheid liberal who fled the old South Africa and welcomed independence for Mugabe's Zimbabwe.' Daily Mail 'Sights and travel experiences are vividly described and people both from Livingstone's and from the other tribes are handled particularly well.' Sunday Times

Autorenporträt
I was born in 1968 in Walthamstow, London but have lived in Norfolk since the age of five. I have a wife Emma and two children, Adam and Sophie.I've always had a love of action thriller books, Lee Child's Jack Reacher and Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp and Tom Wood's Victor. I also have a love of action movies, Die Hard, Daniel Craig's Bond and Jason Statham in The Transporter, and don't get me started on Guy Richie's Lock Stock or Snatch. The harder and faster the action the better, with a bit of humour thrown in to move it along.Call it a mid-life crisis or a need to let my creative monster out, with the big 50 approaching I sat down threw all of the above in a blender and started writing Execution of Faith. A supercharged, action packed roller coaster of a ride that doesn't take itself too seriously. That went so well I wrote a prequel Vodka and Jellied Eels, which due to the time line was made the first in the Danny Pearson Thriller Series.www.stephentaylorbooks.com
