ABOUT THE BOOK: Mysterious antiquities; ancient ruins; corrupt politicians; genocidal massacres; wild animals; a ‘coup d’état’; inhospitable bush and hired killers: these are some of the dangers that Bruce Savage is confronted with in "Kataza", as he tries to save his companions, avert arrest and bring justice to his nemesis, Gumede.The dystopian future predicted in so many fantasy novels is not too far removed from reality. One example of a 'dystopian present' is modern-day Zimbabwe, the setting for much of the narrative of "Kataza". Kataza is the name of the Savage family farm in what was formerly Rhodesia, and the place where Bruce Savage grew up with his friend Mzali. Kataza is also home to ancient ruins, of which there are many in southern Africa. Archaeological artefacts are unearthed which challenge orthodox interpretations of history and which are the catalysts initiating a chain of events which place Bruce, his girlfriend Alison, and Mzali in mortal jeopardy. Whilst being pursued by Bruce's nemesis, Gumede, the trio manage to uncover evidence of advanced 'state capture' by Gumede, and his plans to assassinate the President. Bruce and his companions are pursued by Gumede's men through some of the most rugged, yet beautiful, terrain in the world -- the inhospitable Matopos wilderness.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Born in 1961 in what was then Rhodesia, Andrew attended Falcon College before being conscripted into the Rhodesian army, where he was selected for officer training and later served as a bodyguard to Lieutenant-Colonel Stokes, based at Rhodesian military headquarters. Following his release from the military, he attended the University of Cape Town, where he attained a Bachelor of Arts degree and trained to be a teacher.  He has since published a Matric History textbook and has served as the Head of Academics at Pecanwood College, before joining the enormous Curro Corporation.

Having grown up in the African bush, I have a great love of nature and wildlife. I am an avid reader, and am also fascinated by palaeontology and archaeology. Having lived in close proximity to some of the ancient ruins in Zimbabwe, and having explored many of them, I am fascinated by their mystique and the ever-changing theories about their origins. Although it is certain that they were built by the Bantu peoples, "Kataza" explores an alternative possibility.
