Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An exciting adventure story set in South Africa in the mid-nineteenth century at the time of the discovery of diamonds. Why are the white invaders 'gathering like ants in a rainstorm' seeking little white stones 'that cannot be eaten and cannot have children ' Mpande, King of the Zulus, sends tribesman Mapitha and two companions to the Kimberley diamond diggings to find out. After three years, many adventures and clashes with the invaders, particularly Fritz Koekemoer, the original discoverer of the diamond field, Mapitha returns alone to the Zulu heartland. There he finds the new King Cetshwayo, in conflict with Sir Theophilus Shepstone, self-styled 'White Father of the Zulu people' conspiring to take over the independent Zulu nation with the help of the British army. Rough Diamonds is a great read. It is full of interesting characters and crazy adventures. If only I had history lessons like that at school.Amazon reader.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The third book in the 'Winds of Change' trilogy features Kamau, the Nusu-Nusu (Half/Half) son of Peter and Rafiki. The novel takes us through Kamau's first uncertain steps at a now non-racial primary school in Nairobi. It gives a detailed description of his initiation into adulthood as a Kikuyu tribesman and how he unwittingly exploits that. He follows his half-brother and attends Oxford University and is selected for the England rugby side. There he clashes with one Hannes Roux who is a member of the last South African rugby team to tour the UK prior to the political changes that occurred in South Africa in the 1990's. Roux is a member of the South African security police. Kamau is inevitably drawn into the conflict in South Africa, so the story takes us back to Kenya and into Tanzania, Botswana, Angola and South Africa itself. This is a gripping and fast paced story and deals in detail with the brutality of the South African security forces and the conflict and corruption of the people fighting that ghastly regime. Whilst the story is a novel and the people imaginary, the background is altogether authentic: the author has either lived in or has visited all the countries and places mentioned in the book. A fast paced book full of adventure and suspense, with the well-researched history constantly reminding you that this is about real issues. It's not just an action book, although there is plenty of that. It is also an education into the various mindsets of the people that were involved on all sides. -Amazon reader.
Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 442 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Privileged and entitled, David Phillips, realised he had to mend his ways when he faced, not one, not two, but three, crossroad moments in his life. First, he suffered under the guilt of shouldering the blame for losing a crucial rugby game. Second he has to deal with the shame of a drunken episode with a woman who steals him blind during the night, and third, when he is confronted with the very real possibility of losing his place at Oxford university because of poor results. Determined to reclaim himself and concentrate on his studies, David joins the SAS reserves. Initially treated with disdain by the hierarchy; he redeems himself by leading the team that rescues an SAS Sergeant - one of their own - from a group of terrorists. With his appetite for risky enterprises whetted and possessing a unique ability to innovate solutions to difficult situations, David finds himself involved in a series of adventures, including a brief affair with the estranged wife of his commanding officer. He also leads a team of commandos to rescue a British 'businessman' from a group of Jihadis in Kenya. Now married with two children, David finds himself at Webster's, a large and successful financial advisory firm. He concocts a scheme to flush out the perpetrator of an attempt to steal highly confidential information. His subterfuge, in the guise of an apparently spontaneous office affair, has far-ranging implications that put his marriage, his career and even his life in jeopardy. What a Tangled Web is an exciting contemporary adventure story dealing with a misguided sense of entitlement and the understanding of women's need for recognition and fulfilment. Guy Hallowes, a farmer's son, was born and raised in Kenya.
Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 306 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Young JOE WACHEERA lives on a small idyllic plot in rural Kenya with his loving parents. The area, however, is fraught with violence, and his father is gruesomely murdered before his eyes. Joe and his mother flee for their lives to Kibera, a large Nairobi slum, where his mother is forced into prostitution by an apparent pillar of the church, REVEREND MWELELI. Determined to escape this horrifying situation, Joe does whatever he can to improve their lot. He puts together a gang of toughs, sets up an operation selling bhang (marijuana) to the community, and organises private tutoring. When Mweleli intervenes in a dispute between Joe and a local shopkeeper, Joe ends up working for him on a casual basis, serving tea to visiting business guests. Joe overhears meetings between the reverend, a GENERAL KARIUKI, a British businessman SIR OSWALD HIGGINBOTHAM and others, who conspire to set up a people smuggling operation. Joe 'befriends' Kariuki and uncomfortably agrees to trade sexual favours in return for tutoring in banking finance and accounting. Unbeknownst to Kariuki, using his new found skills Joe regularly steals portions of Kariuki's ill-gotten wealth, hiding it away in London bank accounts. Joe is now sixteen; he and his gang of toughs negotiate their way into joining the people smuggling operation, acting as assistants taking people to Juba in South Sudan. His mother marries and moves out of the slums. But then Kariuki discovers Joe's theft. He confronts and tries to throttle Joe, who, almost by accident, kills him. Joe flees Nairobi and he and his gang join a smuggling operation taking refugees from Juba to Libya; part of the way through the journey Joe takes over the operation. Once in Libya, he and his gang are engaged by British security to rescue a kidnapped agent, which they do in the hope of gaining British citizenship. Joe smuggles himself into London, illegally acquires a British identity and is employed as a messenger at Sir Oswald Higginbotham's financial advisory firm, though Higginbotham does not see or recognise him. With Joe's financial knowledge, and partly through stealing confidential information from Higginbotham's, Joe gradually sets up his own financial advisory business. It's then he meets Isabel Anderson, a kindred spirit with whom he has a passionate love affair. They dream of a future together but must first obtain a legal identity for Joe. Before they can approach MI5 and what turns out to be the agent Joe rescued, however, he is accused of murder - committed by the British man whose identity Joe illegally assumed. He is jailed. Isabel employs a lawyer and Joe is freed. He then exchanges his knowledge of people smuggling for legal citizenship and a guarantee against prosecution for past misdeeds. Joe and Isabel marry, set up a jointly run firm, including Joe's advisory business. Joe's mother dies, and they return to Kenya to see if Joe can reclaim the land stolen from his family years earlier. While in Kenya, MI5 requests he acts as a part-time agent to assist in prosecutions of all the people smuggling conspirators, including Mweleli in Kenya and Sir Oswald Higginbotham in Britain. After a final confrontation with Kenyan security services over Kariuki's death, Joe is exonerated, is tempted but decides against a takeover of Higginbotham's, and regains possession of his family's land. He and Isabel set up a school for girls, in Nairobi, dedicated to Joe's mother.
