About this listen
A Historical Fiction Book Set in Eastern Africa During the Late 19th Century
"Englishmen in Africa" whisks readers away on a thrilling journey aboard a steamer ship, following protagonist Guy Tritt as he embarks from Aden, anticipating a direct journey to Zaila. In turn of events, Guy is rerouted to Berbera, home of the grand fair, and his course changes further when he falls into friendship with a dubious Portuguese trader, Manuel Torres.Adventure in Berbera
Their landing in Berbera situates them into a maelstrom of conflict and treachery. True to the spirit of historical fiction, the narrative teems with hostility and suspense when Guy stumbles upon a crucial robbery, leading to a mix of influential friendships and rivalries. Stammers Stahl, Guy's old friend, foresees a bloody massacre; soon Berbera is enveloped in violence, and a frantic escape onto the steamer stirs the waters into yet another confrontation.Secrets of Zaila
A tumultuous journey to Zaila is nothing short of pandemonium. The fall of Berbera to Arab forces, the exposure of Torres' deeper betrayal, and a treacherous escape through an underground river mark their plight. All the while, they grapple with starvation, unrest, and near-crazed desperation. The survivors' ordeal rings with the echoes of the human spirit's resilience, from the depths of an underground river, through cavernous darkness, to the glimmers of salvation found at a German outpost.The Return to England
Back in the confines of Zaila and then England, the heroes expose Torres, resulting in his eventual capture and punishment. Medals of honour and friendships forged in the crucible of conflict translate into deep bonds symbolized in their reunions at their favourite London club."Englishmen in Africa" presents a tapestry of colonial conflicts, loyalty, and survival that paints a riveting portrait of late 19th century Eastern Africa. At its core, it's a testament to the allure of adventure and the unshakeable human spirit. The end? Perhaps. The book concludes, yet leaves readers with a sense of wanderlust, a hint at futures still drawn by the call of undiscovered lands.
