Jack Courtney, Book 1

By: Wilbur Smith, Chris Wakling, Farhana Hossain - illustrator

Narrated by: Toby Stephens

A Wilbur Smith series for listeners of 10 and above - starring 14-year-old Jack Courtney.

Jack Courtney has lived in the UK his whole life. But this summer his parents are travelling to the Democratic Republic of the Congo for a gorilla conference and they've promised to take Jack and his friends with them.

When his parents go missing in the rainforest, abducted by mercenaries, nobody seems to have any answers. Jack is pretty sure that it's got something to do with the nearby tantalum mines, but he needs to prove it. Along with Amelia and Xander, Jack must brave the jungle to save his parents. Standing in his way is a member of his own family - Caleb Courtney.

There are western gorillas, forest elephants and hippos. But there are also bandits, mercenaries and poachers. The three friends will need their wits about them if they are to save not only Jack's parents but their own lives too.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Not much adventure in this book. I need more excitement in my books to keep my attention.

This book was not written by Wilbur. It's boring.

This book is a disgrace. I'm a huge fan of Wilbur, but you
quickly release it was not written by Wilbur. The story is boring
