Buy the book from:

South Africa, 1880. Andrew Baird commands the Natal Dragoons as Boer resistance to British annexation develops into open war. He must combine mounted operations and the defence of isolated positions with the search for a German agent, while Mariana Maxwell struggles to recover from earlier trauma.

The First Boer War exposes the limits of conventional British tactics against mobile commandos who understand the veld. Andrew’s divided sympathies and personal knowledge of Boer society complicate a conflict in which political objectives, military orders and local loyalties do not align.
