Book excerpt: Given a one way ticket to Kenya by his father and the admonition, "Make something of yourself," Charles begins work at his father's friends ruby mine. And secretly plans to steal the jewels of Mother Earth. So does an expatriate Rhodesian Zulu, carried as an infant on his grandfathers back into exile. Amidst the chaos of the implosion of the British Empire in Africa, the two men meet and begin to plan. Separately. Two sons, one the mine owner, the other a fighter in the six day war to preserve the new state of Israel, both men having fled Nazi Germany just before their parents are executed by the Gestapo for spying. Who will steal the famed Nairobi Bloodstar ruby as it is discovered? The handsome Englishman so he can return home in triumph or the proud Zulu fighting for the newly named country Zimbabwe? And then Charles meets his match, falling in love with the beautiful, intelligent Dutch South African, Erica, fighting her own country's Apartheid hypocrisy. So begins a journey of intrigue fraught with unseen twin tragedies, the spiritual revelation of one other and as to where the precious ruby finally finds a home.
