A race to save a country . . .
When American engineer Jake Barton teams up with English gentleman and hustler Gareth Swales to sell five battered old Bentleys in 1930s East Africa, neither of them could have imagined that they'd soon be attempting to smuggle the vehicles into Ethiopia in return for a huge reward.
But Ethiopia is in the midst of war against Italy. To achieve their goal they'll have to manoeuvre past several extremely hostile European forces and an international blockade. Keeping them company as part of their mission is the beautiful, strong-willed Vicky Camberwell, a journalist who has been sent with them to report on the brutal violence of the Italian invasion of Ethiopia.
As their daring mission becomes more dangerous the three adventurers are about to discover that some battles may be more than they can handle . . .
