The action is brisk enough to keep pages turning, while Saul David's credentials as a military historian lend the conflict both accuracy and authenticity * Seven * Plenty of action and bloody death, incompetent and scheming officers, and a brace of lovely women tugging at Hart's heart make for a terrific yarn * Sun Herald, Australia * Let's hope that Saul David's new character will be reappearing...A terrific adventure and a genre that goes from strength to strength. * Rodney Troubridge, March 2009 Bookseller's Choice, Bookseller * The details of the l879 campaign are superbly laid out, and this is a real education * Daily Telegraph * David knows his stuff, historically, and there is much to admire in his evocation of 19th Century warfare * Mail on Sunday * David's novel is brimming with interesting historical detail, and where his portraits are of actual historical figures, they convince totally.

ZULU HART left me wanting more...much more * Bernard Cornwell * 'Gems like this are too rare. I was hooked in ten pages.' * Conn Iggulden *
