To Feed the Sparrowhawks

It is 1977, and Rhodesia has exploded into full-scale civil war. The white settlers are fighting a vicious rearguard campaign in the vast Tribal Trust Lands and on remote and isolated border farms, against an ever more determined Black Nationalist foe. Unwillingly sucked into this conflict, farmer Jumbo McQueen meets the girl of his dreams and hopes to build a future with her on his farm. Caring nothing for politics, McQueen is drawn by a single wartime incident - and by his connections with members of the Security Forces - into the spiral of violence. ‘To Feed the Sparrowhawks’ simultaneously follows the fortunes of McQueen, the Guerrilla section that targets his farm, and McQueen’s Special Branch friend: Vic Bailey. This is the first part of the three-book series the second part is due to be launched in June 2013.
