Now readers have the chance to own both novellas in a single, beautiful volume.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nYears ago, in an America that never was, the United States government introduced herds of hippos to the marshlands of Louisiana to be bred and slaughtered as an alternative meat source. This plan failed to take into account some key facts about hippos: they are savage, they are fast, and their jaws can snap a man in two. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nBy the 1890s, the vast bayou that was once America's greatest waterway belongs to feral hippos, and Winslow Houndstooth has been contracted to take it back. To do so, he will gather a crew of the damnedest cons, outlaws, and assassins to ever ride a hippo. \u003ci\u003eAmerican Hippo\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of their fortunes, their failures, and his revenge.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919330001054,"sku":"ING-9781250176431","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781250176431.jpg?v=1782810259","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781250176431","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
