Recensione:
The Horns of the Buffalo is the first in a brilliant new series...A marvellous combination of great characterisation, fast-moving battle scenes and the drama of South Africa at a tumultuous period in the country's history. (Reading Evening Post)
Wilcox...displays a workmanlike literary style, persuasive research and a pacy narrative. He also rounds out his main characters excellently...An enjoyable debut yarn (Huddersfield Daily Examiner)
If you're looking for wartime adventure in the tradition of Bernard Cornwell and CS Forester and a hero to match Sharpe or Hornblower, then search no more...Rip-roaring stuff all the way with Wilcox showing close attention to military detail, a genius for bringing to light the heat of battle and moral sensibility often lacking in blood and thunder epics. (The Northern Echo)
What a wonderful first work of fiction. Wilcox is to be congratulated for creating a truly magnificent, lively, vital and dynamic work. (Bangor Chronicle)
Lovers of Bernard Cornwell and C S Forester will be delighted by the first in a brilliant new series of action-adventures (Peterborough Evening Telegraph)
Those who have watched the classic action film Zulu will revel in this novel (Bolton Evening News)
The first in a brilliant new series of wartime adventures...Another great story for a film! (Eastbourne Today)
...this Fonthill is a hero from the same mould as Cornwell's Sharpe and the good news is that he's set to march again (Northern Echo)
...the book moves along at a cracking pace, the smell of cordite is there, and those who like battle books will enjoy this one. (The Historical Novels Review)
