A classic Afrikaans suspense novel by the celebrated author C.H. Kühn, better known by his pseudonym Mikro. Set during the Second Anglo-Boer War, the story follows the intrepid Captain Sarel Gereke as he navigates high-stakes adventures on the Free State plains. This particular volume was published by Nasionale Boekhandel and features a bold, mid-century illustrated cover that captures the rugged spirit of the narrative. The book is in fair to good vintage condition; the vibrant red pictorial boards show some surface wear, minor staining, and softening at the spine ends. Internally, the binding is firm and the text remains clear, the pages exhibit light foxing and general age-toning typical of its era.
