Sean Courtney who made and lost millions in the gold fields of the Witwatersrand and fought his way through the Boer War, now makes his final appearance as soldier, statesman and soldier in his beloved South Africa in this, the third book of the Courtney novels.
War and bitter estrangement have lost him his own sons. But when fortune brings him young Mark Anders, Sean is drawn into a drama as turbulent as his own life. From the devastation of the trenches in France, through the violence of Johannesburg in the early 1920s, to the serene splendor of the African wilderness, this novel vibrates with Sean's towering personality and is driven forward by Anders, relentless in his pursuit of justice.
