The Kazungula Crossing
Book Three of The Namib Frontiers Series
While Elbereth is in Freetown, Sierra Leone, helping communities threatened by a failing dam and worsening water crisis, Simon Shield, Wynand, and John Young travel east for a tiger fish expedition near Kazungula, gathering provisions through Katima Mulilo, a place heavy with old army memory and unfinished roads.
There, by chance, old bonds deepen and new ones begin. Ty van As and Daniel du Toit cross their path, and a young cyclist named Michael Stent, riding alone from Cape Town to Lilongwe, is drawn into their camp and their wider African world.
But beneath the rivers, crossings, and fellowship of the expedition lies an older danger. Years earlier, John handled a buried and dangerous dispute tied to Bechuanaland, the British government, and the transition to an independent Botswana. What he never realised was that the papers he still carried could expose corruption powerful enough to make silence worth killing for.
Then, in one terrible instant, the camp at Kazungula is shattered.
What follows is a story of grief, sacrifice, loyalty, and the road that must be taken up after the man who understood it best is gone.
Set across Katima Mulilo, Kazungula, the eastern Namibian corridor, and the great river country beyond, The Kazungula Crossing is a powerful African novel of courage, loss, old debts, and the lives forever changed at the place where roads, rivers, and history meet.
