About
Can one man stop a massacre? It's 1884 and the eyes of the world are on Khartoum. General Gordon, hero of Queen Victoria's Empire, is under siege from hordes of Dervish warriors loyal to the Mahdi, the Sudanese warlord and Messiah. With just a few thousand men and diminishing supplies, Gordon fears Khartoum will fall. Ex-captain and army scout Simon Fonthill is summoned to Cairo. The army needs someone to make contact with Gordon ahead of the relief force. Fonthill knows failure could mean instant death, or slow torture at the hands of the Mahdi's disciples, but soon he and his comrade '352' Jenkins are crossing the Nile.
