This gripping new military adventure featuring Simon Fonthill
brilliantly depicts one of the last and most tragic of all battles
in the 'Scramble for Africa'. 1893. In the African Cape, recovering
from the loss of their child, ex-captain and one-time subaltern
Simon Fonthill and his wife Alice find themselves on tribal land
and at the mercy of Matabele warriors. While being held under the
orders of the Matabele king, Lobengula, Fonthill becomes aware of a
Portuguese plot to undermine a valuable mining treaty between
Lobengula and the richest man in Africa, Cecil Rhodes. When
friction develops between Rhodes and the Matabele tribesmen
Fonthill is forced to take sides and, together with comrade '352'
Jenkins and Alice, he becomes embroiled in one of the bloodiest
battles in British history, the Shangani River massacre.
