Publisher's Summary
En af hans klienter, den tyske industrimagnat, Grev Otto Von Meerbach, har et blomstrende firma, som bygger flyvemaskiner og køretøjer for den tyske kejsers hær. Leon møder også von Meerbachs smukke uimodståelige elskerinde, Eva, som han bliver dybt og inderligt forelsket i.
Lige før 1. Verdenskrigs udbrud bliver Leon rekrutteret af sin onkel, Penrod Ballantyne, øverstkommanderende for de britiske styrker i Østafrika. Leon bliver bedt om at indsamle information om von Meerbach, men snubler samtidig over et komplot mod briterne, som involverer de desillusionerede overlevere fra Boerkrigen. Det er dog først, da Eva og von Meerbach atter vender tilbage til Afrika, at Leon opdager, hvad der i virkeligheden ligger til grund for komplottet.
Wilbur Smith er født i Zimbabwe (det tidligere Rhodesia) i 1933. Han er britisk statsborger og vidt berejst. Han har udgivet over 30 bøger, der i gennemsnit hver har solgt over tre millioner eksemplarer. Wilbur Smith er hjemme i sit stof, hvad enten han skriver om de sorte radikale, de hvide afrikanere eller om stammetraditioner i Afrika.
Han er kendt for sin utroligt omhyggelige research og for sine medrivende naturbeskrivelser. Hans stærke følelser for både mennesker og vilde dyr på det sorte kontinent kommer også her til udtryk sammen med hans aldrig svigtende sans for dramatik og spænding.
