Hongi Hika, a paramount chief of the Ngapuhi iwi, is one of the first of his people to perceive the benefits of adopting the new Pakeha technology - particularly with regard to weapons. With the aid of his young cousin, Waikato, he befriends the freshly-arrived missionaries as a first step in his unrelenting quest for muskets - a quest that will take Hongi and Waikato to the penal colony of Port Jackson, to London and, ultimately, to the palace of King George IV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold through Waikato's eyes, this is a tale of adventure, manipulation and revenge.
