Synopsis
Can even the bravest survive? It is 1889 and the great powers of Europe are scrambling for territory in Africa. The last prize is the kingdom of Matabele and Mashonaland, and the South African millionaire Cecil John Rhodes wants the land at any price. Recently returned from Khartoum, former captain and army scout Simon Fonthill needs a new mission. On meeting Rhodes, he agrees to lead an expedition trek to King Lobengula's kraal to seek his agreement to land settlement, but the king's court is a cauldron of intrigue and Fonthill and his comrade '352' Jenkins must fight in one of the most famous last stands in Britain's colonial history.
