It is 1898 in Bulawayo, Rhodesia, and the Langbourne brothers’ business is maturing, and so are the boys.
Morris decides the time is right for them to expand the business into Europe and he leaves his younger siblings to grow the African operation while he returns to his homeland in Ireland.
Two younger brothers join the company and the family work long and hard days. Business thrives, and they begin to see rewards. For the first time, a romance develops, and international plans are set in motion.
But, Africa works in her mysterious ways; good plans are always put to the test, and this is no exception for the Langbourne brothers.
Based on a true story.
Industry Reviews
One of the best trilogies of African adventures I have read. I read everything I can get my hands on about African historical fiction and these books are amongst the best. I can't wait for the other stories to be added to these. Brilliant! (Eric Wilson - Australia)
Well written and absolutely compelling. A story that needed to be told; beautifully interwoven with history and descriptions of how the early days in South Africa and Zimbabwe unfolded. (Lindsay Smith - Australia)
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Mr Landau, I am my school's top reader, and your books, in my opinion, are right up there (If not above) the classics. (Scott Paris - South Africa)
