Summary: This title is an explosive novel set in the highly volatile area of Senga on the North-Eastern border of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in the mid 1960s and early 1970s.

They fight to restore peace - a peace that is governed as much by force of arms as by the tribesmens' faith in the uncanny predictions of their tribal spirit medium who communes with the spirit of the rain goddess.
