Men of Men [047-066-4.9]

By: Wilbur Smith.

synopsis
Zouga never saw the command, probably the toe of her boot on the far
side of Shooting Star's heaving chest; he had certainly not expected a
show horse to have learned the low tricks of a polo pony. Shooting
Star's huge sweat-streaked shoulder crashed into Tom, taking him in the
short ribs with a force that drove the air out of him in a belching
grunt, and as he was spun aside Tom chopped desperately to keep from
falling, twisting and dropping to his knees, his nose on the ground, too
tired and taken too unawares to meet the power of that ferocious baarge.

It is the age of empire, of blood and conquest, of boundless excitement
and possibility. Striding in the footsteps of the pioneers is Zouga
Ballantyne. His dream begins in the danger and drudgery of the diamond
pits and ends on the rich grasslands of Matabeleland, but not before a
king and a proud warrior nation has paid the price of history..

This book is for my wife, Danielle, with all my love for ever
