Description:
His father hanged, an outcast youth bides his time in the deep reaches of a European forest, mastering the lore of survival. Before him lies a great adventure on land and sea: he will cross continents and lead men, but not before being imprisoned and entering into a dark contract. Indeed, he will become known as Daupus, meaning death, and will ride the pale horse foretold in Revelation - even onto the South African veld where his destiny is to unfold. With this horseman, Mike Nicol reinvests the word "evil" with the full meaning and weight that our own violent contemporary societies have blithely diminished, and explores the criminal element attendant upon colonization.
