An astonishing tale of James Harvey, a young boy soldier swept up in a blood-soaked saga during the Rhodesian War of Independence.
It is the 1970's in Africa. Eleven-year-old James is a happy carefree boy revelling in the wild Rhodesian bushveld. One fateful summer's day his idyllic lifestyle comes to an abrupt and tumultuous end. As the winds of war envelope this small African Nation, James's life is reshaped by tragedy, manipulation and betrayal. A violent chance encounter with "freedom fighters" initiates a series of life-changing events where James learns the true power of his own will to survive. An increasingly desperate regime recruits, and cynically uses James as a sniper and child soldier, propelling him into a whirlwind of covert military-sanctioned operations. This epic war fiction story is a poignant saga framed by intense political upheaval and the final stages of the Bush War. A fast-paced action thriller that transports the reader to a unique era of African history.
