The Trade

Description

James Martingell is a self-made explorer, hunter and prospector, and few men know war-torn Southern Africa better than he. He also sells guns to whoever can afford them. Offered a fortune to deliver a huge stock of weapons to would-be Boer rebels in the Transvaal, he supposes his fortune is made. Instead, he finds himself facing betrayal, imprisonment, open warfare and eventually murder as he becomes involved with international traders. Will he survive long enough to become the best known, and most feared, gun-runner in the world?
