Hell's Gate

Set in the Rift Valley in 1898, HELL'S GATE is about colonial expansion and political intrigue in the British East African Protectorate, which we now know as Kenya. Inspired by historical fact, HELL'S GATE is a tale of love, power amd man's inhumanity to man. It recalls the struggle and race to build a railway from the coast at Mombassa to the shores of Lake Victoria in Uganda, known as the 'Jewel of Africa'. At the heart of this story is the beautiful Rift Valley and tented city of Nairobi camp where Major Web, commandant of the British East Africa Rifles struggles against overwhelming odds from the Masai hordes and the threat to his love for the beautiful Hannah from Reuben Cole, widowed farmer to whom she was indebted for saving her life.
