Anmeldelser
«'Gems like this are too rare. I was hooked in ten pages.'»
Conn Iggulden
«For a well-established historian of the Victorian army, turning one's hand from non-fiction to fiction is no easy matter. Saul David, however, crosses that bridge highly competently. This is a fast-moving and succinct account of the machinations and betrayals that surrounded that fateful day in 1879.»
<i>Daily Mail</i>
«David's novel is brimming with interesting historical detail, and where his portraits are of actual historical figures, they convince totally. It is an informative and likeable read»
<i>Literary Review</i>
«Saul David has already shown himself to be a first-rate historian, now he proves to be a masterly story-teller. ZULU HART left me wanting more...much more»
Bernard Cornwell
«David is a popular historian with a rare talent for turning a history lesson into a rattling good yarn. This is an unashamed crowd-pleaser with a compelling, sexy hero who could give Cornwell's Sharpe a run for his money.»
<i>The Times</i>
«A Victorian adventure as big as the veldt and chewier than buffalo biltong . . . real figures of the period are endowed with motive, intent and dialogue that may be fictitious but are entirely convincing»
<i>Sunday Telegraph</i>
«David knows his stuff, historically, and there is much to admire in his evocation of 19th Century warfare»
<i>Mail on Sunday</i>
«The details of the l879 campaign are superbly laid out, and this is a real education»
<i>Daily Telegraph</i>
«Let's hope that Saul David's new character will be reappearing...A terrific adventure and a genre that goes from strength to strength.»
Rodney Troubridge, March 2009 Bookseller's Choice, <i>Bookseller</i>
«Plenty of action and bloody death, incompetent and scheming officers, and a brace of lovely women tugging at Hart's heart make for a terrific yarn»
<i>Sun Herald</i>, Australia
«The action is brisk enough to keep pages turning, while Saul David's credentials as a military historian lend the conflict both accuracy and authenticity»
