In the year 6303, when Earth is bare of anything bigger than an insect or a mouse and most people have remaining for the stars, Duncan Rojas gets a most unconventional visitor. His name is Bukoba Mandaka, and he is the previous of the Maasai. Mandaka needs Rojas, mature researcher for Braxton's Information of Big Game, to get the tusks of the Kilimanjaro Elephant, tusks that ponder over 200 lb. each. Why? Mandaka won't say, but he will pay enormous sums on their behalf. And Rojas cannot resist the challenge of tracing something lost for 3000 years. Backwards and forwards through time, in card games, wars, and rivalries, Rojas searches. But as he begins to view the elusive, lost vitality of historical Africa, he is seduced, and in a short time the quest is becoming his own. With Ivory, Mike Resnick has created a powerful novel spanning worlds and centuries, an exploration of the type of history and story, and a riveting parable for our times.
