Last Stand at Majuba Hill - Softcover
It is 1881, and General George Pomeroy-Colley, commander of the British forces in Natal, is planning to stamp out a rebellion. He is convinced the Transvaal Boers can pose no serious threat, but he needs reliable information. He calls on former army captain Simon Fonthill.
A veteran of the recent Zulu and Sekukuni campaigns, Fonthill knows to never underestimate the enemy. He and his servant, '352' Jenkins, agree to carry out a covert diplomatic assignment. But the greatest test is yet to come. As the two armies converge on the heights of Majuba Hill, Fonthill and Jenkins are first into the fray. If they are to break the enemy, Colley's men must hold the summit at all costs...

Review:
'Take Sharpe and put him nearly a hundred years in the future and in the Boer War and you get the flavour of this book... Well worth a read from any fan of adventure series such as Cromwell's favourite creation or Hornblower' -- Coventry Evening Telegraph 20070120 'A page-turner' -- Newbury Weekly News 20070125 'A ripping yarn. Standing alongside Wilbur Smith and Bernard Cornwell, Wilcox writes with an intimate knowledge of the African continent, an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Victorian era when the British Empire was at its peak, and all the dash of a great adventurer' -- Nottingham Evening Post 20070106 'Another full-blooded Boy's Own adventure... an enjoyable romp' -- Huddersfield Daily Examiner 20070105 'Classic wartime adventure in the tradition of Bernard Cornwell, CS Forester and Allan Mallinson' -- Bolton Evening News 20070106

The year is 1881, and General George Pomeroy-Colley, commander of the British forces in Natal, is planning to stamp out a rebellion.
