Set against the backdrop of 1877 Pretoria, the narrative follows Allan Quatermain, who, intrigued by the political climate, diverts from his hunting expedition to witness the annexation of the Transvaal by British forces. As he arrives in the bustling Church Square, he observes the contrasting emotions of the English and Dutch inhabitants—elation among the British and despondency among the Afrikaners. This setting highlights the tensions of colonial expansion and the complexities of cultural interactions during a pivotal moment in South African history.
