One of his clients, German industrialist Count Otto Von Meerbach, has a company which builds aircraft and vehicles for the Kaiser's burgeoning army. But Leon had not bargained for falling passionately in love with Eva, the Count's beautiful and enigmatic mistress. Just prior to the outbreak of World War I, Leon is recruited by his uncle, Penrod Ballantyne, Commander of the British Forces in East Africa, to gather information from Von Meerbach. He stumbles on a plot against the British involving the disenchanted survivors of the Boer War, but it is only when Eva and Von Meerbach return to Africa that Leon finds out who and what is really behind the conspiracy. 6117836 12 5 2009 Assegai total:107|5:27|4:35|3:24|2:16|1:5| 107 384 183 45 1 1 false false Sun Jul 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 02:36:35 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 11:25:09 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sun Oct 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 10:20:59 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 10:29:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Sep 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 18:28:28 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 19:02:50 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon May 11 17:02:43 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 17:02:54 -0700 2009 Assegai Wilbur Smith’s new hardback is published by Macmillan.
