Brad learns that the claim that his father owned the Zulu Empire is untrue. He meets his extended family in South Africa and learns the story of his grandfather, who was a skilled hunter admired by King Shaka. His grandfather worked as a border agent for the British but got involved in succession disputes between Zulu brothers after Shaka's death. He sided with the wrong brother and had to escape across a raging river, where many drowned but he saved most of his soldiers.
