September, 1914. The First World War has broken out on the Western Front. Thousands of miles away on the Rhodesian border, Simon Fonthill is preparing for battle alongside his companion, 352 Jenkins and tracker Mzingeli. The trio come under constant fire from enemy forces. At the bequest of Admiral Herbert King-Hall, they undertake their most dangerous mission yet, sinking the Königsberg, a German cruiser ship hidden deep in the Rufiji Delta. Meanwhile Fonthill's wife, Alice, in Mombasa sees something amiss in the camp, and takes matters into her own hands. Amidst the chaos of war, treachery is never far away...
