Set against the backdrop of Pretoria in 1877, the narrative follows Allan Quatermain, who, intrigued by the political climate, diverts from his trading expedition to witness the annexation of the Transvaal by the British. Upon arriving in Church Square, he observes the contrasting emotions of the English and Dutch citizens—excitement among the English and despondency among the Dutch. This moment captures the tension of a pivotal historical event, blending adventure with a keen observation of cultural and political dynamics.
