Synopsis

Zimbabwe Falcon covers the period between 1888 and 1923 in the region between the Limpopo and Zambezi Rivers. Here in ancient times, the descents of the High Priest of Jerusalem built the Great Zimbabwe as their capital. It was the only great civilization south of the Sahara, and nearby were the ancient gold mines of Solomon. Into this land marched the Rhodesian Pioneers in 1890 to challenge Lobengula, King of the Ndebele nation. This Zulu tribe had only sixty years earlier seized it from the Shona. Into this mix of different tribes and cultures are added the Boers;the white tribe of Africa. These various groups are involved in many armed conflicts, and alliances are constantly changing. But in the end the Pioneers will prevail and create a country that will survive into the twentieth century.
