The Teeth of Giants

About This Audiobook

Gordon Wallis doesn’t just write about the ivory trade—he dissects its rot from the inside out. *The Teeth of Giants* follows a disgraced conservationist drawn back into the fray when an old friend is found dead in the Congo’s blood-soaked jungles. Wallis writes with the precision of a field surgeon, stitching together corporate espionage, cartel violence, and the quiet horror of ecological collapse into a thriller that doesn’t flinch from its own brutality. The setting isn’t just backdrop; it’s a character, a suffocating, feverish beast that tests every nerve of the story’s cast. If you’ve ever wondered how far you’d go to stop a massacre, this book will haunt you long before the final reel plays out.

Narrator Kevin Hanssen doesn’t just perform this audiobook—he weaponizes the silence. His voice, rich with gravel and restraint, carries the weight of exhausted idealism, while his ability to modulate between hushed tension and explosive outbursts keeps the pacing relentless. Wallis’s prose crackles with authenticity, but Hanssen makes it *sing*—especially during the rare moments of stillness between gunfire and betrayal. The result is an immersive experience where the jungle’s oppressive heat feels tangible, and every whispered secret feels like a threat.
