It is the mid-1980s in South Africa. The white minority of this black nation is fighting--politically and physically--to maintain its leadership. Into this unstable environment comes Shaka II, the descendant of a feared nineteenth-century warrior and Zulu king of the same name. Like his ancestor, this twentieth-century militant and charismatic leader has assembled an army of ferocious, loyal fighters that embarks on a bloody campaign to topple white rule. Shaka's warriors began an uprising by slaughtering a prominent South African family. Yury Isakov, a KGB agent posing as a hydroelectric engineer, offers Shaka the Soviet Union's clandestine support for the uprising. Mark van Rooyan, son of the slaughtered family, vows to avenge his family's death. Ensues a battle against time between van Rooyan and his supporters against Shaka's warriors and an impending Soviet nuclear intervention. This story of a farmer and a few friends clashing head on with the fearsome power of primitive warriors and the threat of Soviet military might portrays a classic conflict between good and evil.

Publisher: Penguin Random House South Africa
ISBN: 1485904641
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
In the Namibian harbour town of Lüderitz, a liminal space where desert meets ocean, a terrible history is made intimate and personal when filmmaker Henry van Wyk must confront a childhood tragedy that has moulded his life. Having returned to his birthplace in an attempt to get his career back on track, Henry struggles to complete a documentary he is working on. He whiles away his mornings swimming in a nearby tidal pool on Shark Island, and finds himself increasingly drawn to the small town and its romantic possibilities. But the tranquil land hides a bloody history: Shark Island was once the site of a concentration camp, and a law firm is suing the German government for their role in the genocide of Namibia’s indigenous people. When Henry begins to interview the survivors’ descendants, their testimonies compel him to search the desert for a mass grave. At the Edge of the Desert is a meditation on loss, isolation and love, which asks us to consider the implications of telling someone else’s story.
