ABOUT THE BOOK
In 1884, the eyes of the world are on Khartoum in 1884 where General Gordon, hero of Queen Victoria’s Empire, is under siege. Hordes of Dervish warriors, loyal to the Mahdi, the Sudanese war lord and Messiah, are baying for British blood. With just a few thousand men and diminishing supplies, Gordon fears Khartoum will fall.
Ex-captain and army scout Simon Fonthill is summoned to Cairo. The army needs a hardened scout to slip through enemy lines to make contact with Gordon ahead of the relief force. Failure could mean instant death or slow torture at the hands of the Mahdi’s disciples.
Fonthill knows the odds are stacked against success but accepts the mission. Soon he and his comrade, “352″ Jenkins are crossing the Nile. But when they are captured by a sadistic Dervish patrol, it seems that, for Fonthill, time has finally run out…

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John Wilcox. An inability to do sums and a nascent talent to string words together steered me towards journalism - that and the desire to wear a trenchcoat, belted with a knot, just like Bogart.
The life of a daily paper reporter completely fulfilled me and I must have been competent because I won a “Young Journalist of the Year” award. It still, then, puzzles me that I allowed myself to be lured away to become head of public relations at one of the UK’s largest car makers. I was happy, later, to move into the more tangible world of marketing and happier still when eventually I was able to sell the company that I partly owned to move to the country and just write.
Ten books and seven novels later I am still at it. Nowhere am I more content than sitting in my studio at the bottom of my Wiltshire garden, among the fairies, looking out on my chestnut trees and the Victorian world of Simon Fonthill
