Young Lieutenant Simon Fonthill has been dispatched to South Africa with much to prove, for Colonel Covington, his former Commanding Officer, has slanderously branded him a coward. In the Cape, Fonthill, together with his servant '352' Jenkins, is sent deep into Zululand to discover the intentions of the Zulu king.

After contending with violence and imprisonment, Fonthill faces his greatest challenge: escaping from the massacre at Isandlwana, he must warn the tiny garrison at Rorke's Drift of the massive Zulu force advancing towards them...
