Description

'Paul Fraser Collard commands the genre of historical action adventure' Matthew Harffy

South Africa, 1871. Jack Lark travels to the Cape Colony diamond fields in search of a fortune - and a new adventure.

When violence erupts between the diamond hunters and a gang of Boer men, it soon becomes clear that everyone has their eye on the same elusive prize. And some will stop at nothing to claim it.

Finding a jewel is only half of the battle. Getting out of the mines alive may prove far more difficult still.

And when the worst happens, Jack finds himself tested as no enemy, no man, and no war has ever before.

Author Bio

Paul's love of military history started at an early age. A childhood spent watching films like Waterloo and Zulu whilst reading Sharpe, Flashman and the occasional Commando comic, gave him a desire to know more of the men who fought in the great wars of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries. At school, Paul was determined to become an officer in the British army and he succeeded in winning an Army Scholarship. However, Paul chose to give up his boyhood ambition and instead went into the finance industry. Paul stills works in the City, and lives with his wife and three children in Kent.
