James Martingell is a self-made explorer, hunter and prospector, and few men know war-torn Southern Africa better than he does. He also sells guns to whoever can afford them. Offered a fortune to deliver a huge stock of weapons to would-be Boer rebels in the Transvaal, he believes he is about to be a rich man.
Instead, he finds himself facing betrayal, imprisonment, open warfare and eventually murder as he becomes involved with international arms traders. Set in the imperial competition surrounding the Transvaal, the novel begins a multigenerational saga about weapons, profit and the family costs of supplying other people’s wars.
