Book description
Mark never heard the Mauser shot for the bullet came ahead of the
sound. There was only the massive shock in the upper part of his body,
and then he was hurled backwards with a violence that drove the air from
his lungs. The earth opened before him, and as he fell, there was a
sensation of being engulfed in a swirling vortex of blackness and he
knew for just a fleeting instant of time that he was dead.' From the
trenches of France, General Sean Courtney comes back to fame, fortune
and a seat in the Government. Mark Anders, the courageous young South
African whom he has come to regard as his own son, returns to nothing,
his grandfather murdered, his property seized by an unknown company. At
the bottom of the mystery is Sean's son Dirk, the jealous, violent and
power-crazed genius whose all-consuming hatred can only end in blood...
