Jeremy Mallinson's Someone Wishes to Speak to You is a romantic novel which merges fact with fiction, and provides an insight into aspects of racism in America's Deep South and in Southern Rhodesia during the 1970s.Written by a well-respected primatologist with first-hand knowledge of field work in Africa, the novel follows the experiences of Mathew Duncan, the son of a British baronet, visiting Africa to study primates in their natural habitat.Regrettably for Mathew, his personal relationships create a situation that can be exploited by others. Unavoidably, the complex political situation during Rhodesia's Bush War prior to Zimbabwe's independence draws him in, making him an unwilling pawn in the social machinations when murder, blackmail and worse became a regular part of life.During his 42-year career, Jeremy Mallinson has studied endangered species in Africa, Asia and South America. He has written more than 200 papers and articles, seven books, and won numerous awards. In 1997, Jeremy was awarded the OBE for his service to animal conservation worldwide. He lives on Jersey.

But New Guinea has one serious drawback: it has no primates, except for humans. Thus, I come to this conference on primate conservation as an underprivileged and emotion...
