Once he recovers, he is summoned to his nation's capital, Nyazimba, the city of stone, to be presented an award for bravery by his King.

About the Author: Born in Gloucestershire, I moved with my family to Rhodesia in 1974 where I had the fortune to grow up in a changing cultural environment. After Zimbabwean independence in 1980, I continued with my schooling gaining a qualification in microelectronic engineering, specialising in radio and telephone communications. During this time I had the privilege of travelling throughout Zimbabwe and the surrounding countries such as Mozambique, Zambia and South Africa where I experienced firsthand much of that described in the publication. As a senior manager of a multinational company I was involved in many development programmes from supplying solar power and communications to rural clinics to installing equipment in some of the deepest mines in the region and it left me with an incredible sense of fulfilment. My broad exposure to this beautiful country allowed me to live life to the full and this story has always been in my heart to write. Married with two children I moved to the UK in 2000 where I am the owner of a telecommunications company; however the heartbeat of Africa will always be with me.
