A period adventure novel by A. G. Hales set against the backdrop of the Boer War, following the exploits of the scout Driscoll through military campaigns and imperial conflict in South Africa. Written in the dramatic style of late Victorian war fiction, the work combines action, military themes and contemporary attitudes of the period. Illustrated with plates and retaining its original decorative cloth binding, the book represents both a literary work and a piece of Boer War-era publishing history.
