The Transvaal Rebellion
(2026)(The seventh book in the Blackwood of the Empire series)
A novel by Eric Meyer and Michael G Thomas
The Transvaal has risen against British rule, and Blackwood is being sent straight into the rebellion.
Lieutenant William Blackwood has barely returned from Afghanistan when he is sent back to South Africa on Special Service. The British Empire has annexed the Transvaal, but Boer resistance is hardening, mounted commandos are gathering, and British authority is beginning to crumble across the country.
Blackwood has fought Zulus and Afghans, but the Boers are different. They move fast, shoot straight and use the land with deadly skill, refusing to fight the kind of battle the British Army expects. As roads become unsafe and rebellion turns to open war, every encounter forces Blackwood to question the lessons that have kept him alive through two brutal campaigns.
With British columns advancing into hostile country and confidence beginning to crack, Blackwood must adapt quickly if he is to survive what is coming. Battle for Transvaal, Book VII of Blackwood of the Empire, is a gripping historical military adventure of courage, comradeship and hard fighting on the violent frontier of the British Empire.
