Assegai

Leon has a stubborn and independent character, like all the men in the Courtney family. After having a fight with his father, he left home; having enlisted in the army, he disobeyed a command from his superior... The military court... acquitted him, but now Leon's record contains a "big black blot", and his uncle, Colonel Ballantyne, offers him a chance to start a new career in British military intelligence. In the early 20th century, Germany, having extensive colonies in East Africa, strengthened its military power and was reportedly preparing for war, so British intelligence increased surveillance over border territories. Leon, an excellent hunter and a great friend of the Maasai tribe, is assigned to gather information about the movement of people and equipment at the border. He operates undercover as a safari organizer for high-ranking Germans. Soon, Count Otto von Mirbach, a well-known industrialist whose factories produce airplanes and automobiles for the Kaiser's army, arrives in Africa to hunt. But Mirbach's target turns out to be more than just big game. Leon uncovers his scheme at a moment when he has no one to turn to for help and no one to ask for advice. A great hunt begins, where the pursuer and the pursued may suddenly change roles... The Courtneys and the Ballantynes — in one cycle about the magnificent and fearsome Africa!
