Arcturus

Arcturus gold mine surrounded by hills and bush, a small mining community works on the surface and underground. Settling into majority rule, the people rebuild their lives, and country.
Seemingly cut off from the world, hopeful of finding the once quiet life enjoyed before the war.
Three antagonist brought together by mutual affinity to power, wealth and gold. Previously enemies of each other, an axis of evil bread by disappointments and cruelty in war develops between an ex guerrilla commander, a Selous Scout and the President of Zimbabwe - himself a communist but closet capitalist.
In comes Skip Goldrick a sinewy, lean mean fighting machine, with loose scraggly blonde hair, wild staring eyes, high cheek bones, goatee beard with moustache and stout chin. He likes wearing blue denim wrangler jackets and jeans, and enjoys fighting in bar room brawls
Apart from this he is an okay guy.
A throwback to pre-revolutionary Zimbabwe, a relic of Rhodesia in the flesh, living all but dead. A ship without a captain, rudderless, adrift in a sea of ghost from his past.
Nightmares and guilt burden his conscience, a hero of the colonial side of the war, its dead come crumbling back to haunt him.
'It was worth it!' He screamed banging the wall with his head. The dead guerrilla standing at the foot of the bed, a hole in the back of his head, blood ran down his face.
'It's okay Skip it's what you got paid for.'
Skip finds work on a gold mine, there he meets and falls in love with a beautiful African divorcee, Keturah O'Brien. With their lives seemingly happy, a mysterious Romanian couple arrive, bearing gifts
Employee conflict, a miners strike, time on safari brings a twist. Can Skip and Keturah survive what comes next!
A story about love, deceit and betrayal. A search for peace in a land scorched by war. A collapsed mine shaft, lives on the edge, a plan to steal $60 million dollars-worth of unrefined gold.
Fast paced from beginning to end, will keep the reader immersed.
