eBook Description:  To drive the advancing British army from his homeland, a Mau Mau tribal witch doctor attempts to conjure the god of war in a ceremony that requires the blood of two thousand cattle ... a resource quite unavailable under the circumstances. Substituting the blood of a single snake, the witch doctor conjures a lesser god not quite suited to the task.

It had not been a good year for the Mau Mau.
The British had brought in their army, and what had seemed like a battle against a handful of white colonists had become something infinitely bigger. Thousands of insurgents were held captive in camps that lined Langata Road. Thousands more had been shipped to the Northern Frontier District and incarcerated there in the burning heat of the desert. The bulk of those who remained were spread throughout the Aberdare Mountain range, where the British made three daily bombing runs in their planes, killing Kikuyu freedom fighters, Kikuyu loyalists, elephants, rhinos, and buffalos with equal facility. It was time, declared Deedan Kimathi, the Supreme Commander of the Mau Mau, to take the gloves off.
