South Africa, 1901. The Boer War has become a contest of mobile commandos, blockhouses and scorched-earth measures rather than set-piece battles. Captain Andrew Baird receives command of the inexperienced Natal Dragoons and orders to hunt the elusive Van Collier Commando led in part by Jacoba du Toit.
The final Soldier’s Son novel places Andrew against opponents who know the terrain and can disappear among farms and communities affected by British counter-guerrilla policy. Training his men is only part of the problem: he must decide what victory means when civilians, old loyalties and personal vengeance have become inseparable from the campaign.
