Plans to convert an entire continent centre round the construction of the Cairo to Cape Town railwayAli O. An unknown Development Bank financed an army of zealot to knit nations together with cast iron rails. Five unremarkable years into the project and Uganda is securely welded to the countries in the north. The next phase is to replace the President, before they continue southwards. To this end, three young Ugandans begin their long trek home. Ali Odongo, Abdullah Tembo and Ibrahim Mbonye travel from their guerrilla training camps on the Pakistani/Afghani border via Saudi Arabia and into war-torn Yemen. Where they embark on a dhow bound for the Kenyan coast. Without pause, they journey by bus and the newly revamped East African railway undetected into the very heart of Uganda and the assassination of their President.

Meanwhile, two unlikely soldiers of fortune join forces to organise this army. They are Bernie Van de Merwe, a Boer renegade from many African guerrilla wars and Saleh Al Othman, a Saudi veteran from the Afghani and Iraqi campaigns. Together they make a formidable training team moulding the railway workers into efficient special forces units, capable of fighting in small groups or uniting into a cohesive conventional army. There is only one problem; they hide a terrible secret that might be their undoing. Initially it is revealed by an investigative journalist, Betty Wasajja and later by a police officer, Lieutenant Enebu. This is something the mercenaries have to attend to before they can go to war. In order for them to be effective, they need the latest weaponry. The McNally family, ex-IRA arms dealers, smuggle a lorry-load of explosive contraband through Dar-es-Salaam.

The eldest brother, Eddie, begins the arduous journey to northern Uganda. Guided part of the way by Narok, a Masai warrior, he moves stealthily through the savanna grasslands. Once the New Army is fully equipped, nothing between Tel Aviv and Pretoria could stop them. They are poised to change the politics of The Dark Continent forever. Major Michael Simpson, Commander of the Ugandan President's Bodyguard, stumbles upon the assassination plot. The question is can he convince a very sceptical national security team of the urgency of the situation. The assassination begins the second book in this exciting trilogy. Ali Odongo and Abdullah Tembo are charged with finding and executing the string of informers who scuppered their initial attack.

Michael Simpson finds himself both hunted as well as the hunter. The climax of this volume follows the terrorists as they close in on his home, threatening everyone he holds dear. The finale of the trilogy is as dramatic as it is unexpected. The consequences of such an invasion plan would change the balance of world politics, forever. It is a story that must be told. it is a film that must be made.
