ABOUT THE BOOK
This gripping 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.

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
