Publisher Description

In the heart of the African jungle, Bruce Curry is the leader of a mercenary band, with the dubious support of three white officers. His mission is to relieve a mining town cut off by fighting and to retrieve a priceless consignment of diamonds. Ranged against his ill-disciplined unit are bandits, guerillas, and hostile tribes. But there is another, even deadlier enemy: one of his own men.

    " Set in the Belgian Congo in 1960s, it had more of an impact than his more historical novels. Perhaps because the events were in my lifetime, I found some of the scenes quite upsetting - I will have to look out for the film version! "

    " Pretty good boy's own adventure yarn from the master of those types of books. Details are vague as I read it many years ago but remember enjoying it at the time though not the staying power of other Smith works. "
