Description:Commemorating the 150th anniversary of the landing of English settlers in the Albany district of South Africa, a novel of high adventure...The English men and women who settled South Africa in the 1820s yearned for a new life free of poverty and despair. But what they found was a barren, cruel, violent frontier where, if starvation or murder didn't kill you, the vicious roving packs of wild dogs would! When his father is killed in a wagon accident, young John Caffre becomes the head of his family, only to discover that their role in this ‘new world’ is to act as buffers between established settlements and the natives. To make matters worse, he clashes with the local, wealthy and powerful Vickers family. While the dynasty’s father and son plot to take John’s land, he finds himself helplessly attracted to the Vickers’ daughter Charlotte. To improve his prospects for marrying the girl of his dreams, he becomes embroiled in the illegal ivory trade, surrounding himself with Napoleonic veterans and English poachers who sold their morals years ago. Will Charlotte still love John once she finds out what he’s been doing? Can he win the approval of her father without giving up his precious land? And, when nature turns against them, can any of them survive in this foreign, beautiful, and often inhospitable land? This is a story of the new settlers, dropped down into a strange land one hundred miles from a dangerous sea-coast with no good harbours, and six hundred miles from a city where they might be able to sell their crops.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
