Fantastic !

I’ve read many of his books. This is certainly one of my favorites. I only regret that it had to end.

Just Listen!

Wilbur Smith, perhaps from the grave and Tom Harper, his associate have done an excellent job on this book. just read it. you will love it.

Great!

Loved it as always!! Wilbur Smith is one of the best. Love how he describes the African continent.

The Courtney series are my favorite W Smith books.

I'm looking for a sequel. The ending was unsatisfactory. I couldn't put this book down!

Never get enough of Wilbur Smith

Nobody, and I mean nobody, can spin a good story like Wilbur. I haven’t yet read one of his books I didn’t like. I think the Courtney’s are my favorites though. You get so drawn into the stories. I wish the whole Courtney series would become a movie series, but at the same time, I know they wouldn’t come close to the imagery and character development of the books. Still… it would be awesome to see.
