He soon finds one in the Cape Colonies, where there is need of a man to re-organise the local forces, and in particular to form a new company of horse. Accompanied by a captain from the disbanded Royal African Corps, Hervey heads out into the great South African plains and towards the territory of the Zulu and their legendary leader, King Shaka. But it is not till he nears the Umtata River that his fiercest battle really begins. For the Zulus fight like no army he has encountered before. As Hervey and his troops are plunged into battle, death is only a heartbeat away... Company of Spears is the eighth book in Allan Mallinson's Matthew Hervey series. His adventures continue in Man of War. Have you read his previous adventures A Close Run Thing, The Nizam's Daughters, A Regimental Affair, A Call to Arms, The Sabre's Edge, Rumours of War and An Act of Courage?

Seller's Description:
Very good. This book is in stock now, in our UK premises. Photos of our books are available on request (the pictures you see on Alibris are NOT our own). Are you outside UK? Then unless you arrange shipping 'Via Alibris' we WILL cancel your order; this is due to the derisory shipping allowance that Alibris make to sellers for overseas orders.
I WAS EXCITED ABOUT DISCOVERING THIS SERIES BUT I COULD'NT GET PAST THE THIRD CHAPTER. WHEN I'M READING A BOOK ABOUT MILITARY HISTORY I DON'T WANT TO SEE TOO MUCH ABOUT BALLROOMS AND THE REFLECTION OF THE CANDLELITE IN THE HAIR OF THE HERO'S GIRLFRIEND. I WANT BLOOD AND GUTS INTERSPERSED WITH ACTUAL HISTORY. I DONATED BOTH OF THE BOOKS I ORDERED TO THE LOCAL LIBRARY THE DAY AFTER I GOT THEM. THIS IS NOT A SLAM ON ALIBRIS, THE SELLER OF THE BOOK OR EVEN THE AUTHOR. HIS STYLE IS JUST NOT MY CUP OF TEA. THANKS, BOB BEHEN.
