‘Gems like this are too rare. I was hooked in ten pages.’ Conn Iggulden

GEORGE HART just wants to serve his Queen and honour his family. It’s not that simple.

BASTARD
He doesn’t know his father, only that he’s a pillar of the Establishment. His beloved mother is half Irish, half Zulu.

ZULU
In a Victorian society rife with racism and prejudice, George’s dark skin spells trouble to his regimental commander.

WARRIOR
But George has soldiering in his blood – the only question is what he’s really fighting for: ancestry or Empire. In the heat of battle he must decide . . .

Conn Iggulden
'Gems like this are too rare. I was hooked in ten pages.'
<i>Daily Mail</i>
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 Telegraph</i>
The details of the l879 campaign are superbly laid out, and this is a real education
<i>Sun Herald</i>, Australia
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
Bernard Cornwell
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
<i>Sunday Telegraph</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>Literary Review</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>Mail on Sunday</i>
David knows his stuff, historically, and there is much to admire in his evocation of 19th Century warfare
Rodney Troubridge, March 2009 Bookseller's Choice, <i>Bookseller</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.
<i>The Times</i>
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.
