Críticas
The Horns of the Buffalo is the first in a brilliant new series...A marvellous combination of great characterisation, fast-moving battle scenes and the drama of South Africa at a tumultuous period in the country's history. (Reading Evening Post)
Wilcox...displays a workmanlike literary style, persuasive research and a pacy narrative. He also rounds out his main characters excellently...An enjoyable debut yarn (Huddersfield Daily Examiner)
If you're looking for wartime adventure in the tradition of Bernard Cornwell and CS Forester and a hero to match Sharpe or Hornblower, then search no more...Rip-roaring stuff all the way with Wilcox showing close attention to military detail, a genius for bringing to light the heat of battle and moral sensibility often lacking in blood and thunder epics. (The Northern Echo)
What a wonderful first work of fiction. Wilcox is to be congratulated for creating a truly magnificent, lively, vital and dynamic work. (Bangor Chronicle)
Lovers of Bernard Cornwell and C S Forester will be delighted by the first in a brilliant new series of action-adventures (Peterborough Evening Telegraph)
Those who have watched the classic action film Zulu will revel in this novel (Bolton Evening News)
The first in a brilliant new series of wartime adventures...Another great story for a film! (Eastbourne Today)
...this Fonthill is a hero from the same mould as Cornwell's Sharpe and the good news is that he's set to march again (Northern Echo)
...the book moves along at a cracking pace, the smell of cordite is there, and those who like battle books will enjoy this one. (The Historical Novels Review)
Reseña del editor
It is 1879 and the British army is constantly in action to defend the Empire. Young Lieutenant Simon Fonthill has been dispatched to South Africa with much to prove, for Colonel Covington, his former Commanding Officer, has slanderously branded him a coward. In the Cape, Fonthill, together with his servant '352' Jenkins, is sent deep into Zululand to discover the intentions of the Zulu king. A dangerous mission, for the territory is aflame with talk of war. After contending with violence and imprisonment, Fonthill faces his greatest challenge: escaping from the massacre at Isandlwana, he must warn the tiny garrison at Rorke's Drift of the massive Zulu force advancing towards them...

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. Jacket illustration by Angelo Rinaldi (illustrator). 1st Edition. "First published in 2004 by Headline Book Publishing"; number line complete 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Dated 30/1/04, inscribed to two neighbors, and signed "John Wilcox" to the title page. Not price clipped; original L18.99 price showing. Will close its own text block but not its boards. Yes, authors of historical romance are advised to devote most of their energies to creating a character or characters about whom readers will care, rather than getting caught up in historical minutiae. Perhaps Mr. Wilcox has succeeded at that, in this his first novel. Others will have to judge. He probably also presumes readers will be familiar enough with the 1879 military actions at Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift that dragging out the exposition of those actions might prove tedious. But really: They constitute the climax of this novel, yet the two battles together deserve only 35 of his 312 pages? Great cover art, though. Reduced from $107. Signed by Author(s).
