The wolf of Rome--the army of Italy--threatens defenseless Ethiopia with annihilation.
Into this tumult comes Jake Barton, hard-punching Texas engineer, and Gareth Swales, a stylish old-Etonian gunrunner. In a secret deal with an Ethiopian prince, they deliver armoured cars to the natives. Vicky, a young American woman, wants in on the action.
The three of them, Jake, Gareth and Vicky, sweep irresistibly from a daring adventure into a violent confrontation with death among the high Ethiopian mountains.
