Laredo's defenders were ground down and its people ruthlessly slaughtered when the Bactrians invaded the planet. Overwhelmed, its Army switched to guerrilla warfare and went underground. For three years they've fought like demons to resist the occupiers. They've bled the enemy, but at fearful cost. The survivors are running out of weapons, supplies, and places to hide. Then a young officer, Dave Carson, uncovers news that may change everything. An opportunity is coming to smash the foe harder than they've ever done before, both on and off the planet. Success may bring the interplanetary community to their aid - but it'll take everything they've got. Win or lose, many of them will die. Failure will mean that Bactria will at last rule unopposed. That risk won't stop them. When you're fighting a war to the knife, in the end you bet on the blade.

The Laredo Resistance fought the Bactrian invaders to a standstill, but shattered itself in the process. Through battle, bloodshed and murder, Dave Carson became President of Laredo's Government-in-Exile. Now he must dodge assassination attempts by his enemies while fighting the war on new fronts - with a little unorthodox help from Steve Maxwell of the Lancastrian Commonwealth Fleet. Gloria Aldred, former head of the Resistance, has plans that run counter to everything Dave's trying to achieve - and she's not about to ask his permission to pursue them. Satrap Rostam is trying to cut Bactria's losses and rebuild his exhausted planet, but his generals and nobles have lots of guilty secrets to hide - and they don't mind burying him right along with them if necessary. They're all looking for a critical advantage... until the forgotten survivors of Laredo's Resistance surprise them all. The battle's in space and on the ground, with everything at stake.

Nelson Mandela buried a gun at his secret hideout shortly before his betrayal by the CIA and capture by the South African Police. The gun has never been found. This tantalizing and historically documented fact is the catalyst for a high concept novel about competing quests for freedom and the struggle for power in South Africa, a sweeping saga set against the backdrop of the country''s violent history, vivid landscape, and the rise of apartheid. Amandla is told from the points of view of memorable characters whose lives are inextricably entangled through three generations of Mandela''s family and De Beer''s immigrant Afrikaner family. Their fictional forebears fight a historic battle that turns a river red with the blood of warriors, and in a war between an army of farmers and the might of the British Empire. Both families face the horrors of segregated genocide in black and white concentration camps, as well as enduring destitution as manual laborers on farms and in goldmines, while on the national stage their antipathies are fueled by the rise of apartheid. In the drama that unfolds, a tragic misunderstanding leads to a personal vendetta that mirrors the prejudices at the heart of each group''s inability to comprehend the aspirations of the other, culminating in an attempt to assassinate Mandela-with his own gun!
