A solitary escape after the fall of Khartoum in 1885. A mission to Zanzibar and East Africa to uncover the plans of the German Empire to seize parts of the region. Jack makes a totally unexpected friend who accompanies him on an urgent assignment: to find an expedition led by that adventurer and tireless self-promoter, Henry Morton Stanley.
Stanley has been sent to rescue the last European governor -- in Equatorial Soudan. There are just two problems: the governor doesn't want to be rescued and there's the little matter of a major rebellion across the entire region. On top of it all, who staggers out of the jungle but Jack's old school chum, Willy Stairs. Willy is not the same man Jack once knew.

'A sweeping colonial thriller with surprising depth. Ring’s first-person narration gives Jack a reflective quality that distinguishes him from more conventional adventure protagonists. A thoughtful historical adventure that combines espionage, exploration, and political drama with a clear-eyed view of empire.' Prairies Book Review
