In The Power Of The Enemy

This book, by Percival Lancaster and his father, Harry Collingwood, was first published as a serial in 1912 and as a book in 1925. Hugh Marchmont is devoted to his little brother, Jack. During trouble with the Zulus the child is stolen by Hugh's arch-enemy and given to the black warriors. The wildest, most hair-raising adventures happen to both brothers before Hugh succeeds in saving the child. ''A story which brings in the Zulu War, but is mainly concerned with a young Englishman's search among hostile natives for his small brother who has been kidnapped . . . and handed over to the Zulus as an act of vengeance.'' — Yorkshire Post and Leeds Intelligencer “...a splendid story of thrilling adventure, written by two established boys' authors” — Western Mail
