Ignasius: The Boer Gold

by Malcolm Colley

Ignasius (Naas) is the story of an emerging adult with the aftermath of the Second Boer War as a factual backdrop. Naas (Ignasius) is returning home after fighting with his brothers and father against the British in the Second Boer War in South Africa when he is attacked for knowledge of diamonds which he doesn't have. His adventure takes him on a quest for Paul Kruger's Millions which were supposedly lost on the way to pay for arms and ammunition for the Boers. His knowledge of the bush gained while growing up on his father's farm stands him in good stead. He needs to deal with killers roaming the war ravaged country but more challenging is the presence of women entering his emerging adult life. From the North-West to the bush of the Lowveld, events move quickly to a climatic showdown.
