Description
THE THRILLING MEDIEVAL BLOCKBUSTER FROM DAVID GILMAN, TO KILL A KING, OUT IN PAPERBACK NOW!
A gripping historical adventure of war and intrigue set during the tumultuous late Victorian period from the critically acclaimed author of the Master of War series.
South Africa, 1900. The search for his missing son takes Joseph Radcliffe from the streets of Dublin, smouldering with rebellion, to the trackless veld of South Africa and the bloody brutality of the Anglo-Boer War.
As a former cavalryman in the US army, Radcliffe is no stranger to war, but 800 miles north of Cape Town, under fire from Boer commandos and distrusted by the British forces, he will find his survival skills tested to the hilt.
The Last Horseman is an epic tale of heroism and treachery, love and loyalty, set against the backdrop of a conflict that shook an empire to its core.
'Gripping and full of action, but is also smart and subtle about questions of loyalty and guilt in a war with few good guys.' The Times
'A perfect read for fans of Bernard Cornwell.' Historical Novel Review
