An
entertaining story about the fight for survival which is sure to raise
awareness about the very real threat of extinction facing the mystical
and majestic South China Tiger.
For the first time in history,
this most ancient tiger – the South China Tiger, is brought to the
consciousness of the western public through story telling. The Tiger
Chase has captured the spirit of the Chinese tiger, ancestral to all
other subspecies, as well as the culture associated with it.
I hope that
the awareness it raises would encourage the reader to join us in our
fight to save this cultural symbol and protector of nature from the fate
of extinction.
With "The Tiger Chase"
Andrew McDermott takes an important look at
one of the most critically endangered, yet often overlooked, of the
tiger subspecies. Interwoven in a novel almost as mysterious as the
tiger itself is a story, in one moment heartbreaking, in another
hilarious, and often terrifyingly close to being a requiem for the
vanishing South Chinese tiger.

What a treat! A tale that picks
up speed, “The Tiger Chase” tells an action-packed story that
incorporates not only drama and humor, but also a wealth of information
about one of the most precious, yet most endangered, species on earth.
Information delivered in an entertaining manner, avoiding the
‘preaching’ tone that so many of us involved in environmental
activism adopt, and therefore bound to reach a much larger audience.
‘Kudos’ to Andrew McDermott for producing this most enjoyable, yet
informative, read.
The
Tiger Chase is

and fist-gripping suspense. It provides a true account of the
plight of the South China tiger—one of the most endangered
animals on the planet—wrapped in a fast-paced tale of
adventure, romance, and corruption. Readers are whisked across
the world and back in this story of a fragile yet fearsome
tiger, as Dr. Beth Smith, a reproductive veterinary specialist,
and Detective John Dean, a police officer who hates cats, face
insurmountable odds to protect Zhu Zhu, a 254-pound female
tiger. As the three of them journey two thousand miles across
America, there are those who want to protect her, those who
worship her, and those who want to steal her. To whom does the
South China tiger belong?
