Robin Scott, white and wealthy, a successful businessman in the boom market of South Africa. Phineas Ngtale, black and poor, once Scott's garden boy, now a petty criminal. These two men have nothing in common but a life. The life of Scott's wife who is raped and murdered by Phineas as he robs the Scotts' Johannesburg home. This savage act is the starting point for a big, fast-paced adventure novel which confronts the brutal realities of life in Southern Africa from many, widely variant, viewpoints - the Freedom Fighters who turn Phineas into a highly motivated soldier-killer on terror raids into Rhodesia; the Rhodesian Security Forces fighting for their country's survival, composed of part-timers like Scott's doomed friend and colleague Ron Bates; Afrikaners like National Security agent Pieter Fouche now undercover in the libidinous atmosphere of the Club Mediterranee in Mauritius; and his target, East German playboy Dieter Schmidt who masterminds terrorist sorties out of Botswana and Mozambique . . . Set in the period just before Rhodesian Independence, Birthright is a brilliantly exciting, panoramic novel of life as it is lived in the heart of the storm in Southern Africa.
