5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling and moving., 1 Aug 2005
Still new to Wilber Smith and enjoying his work enormously. If adventure is your thing then look no further than this guy. In his second novel we pick up a few years after where we left of in 'When the lion feeds' following spontaneous adventurer Sean Courtney. War is rife is South Africa and we travel with Sean into the Boer war. But soon we learn that a far more bitter battle lies ahead for our hero. A deep family hatred is there for all too see. The way Smith draws you into the story is something special, and you find it hard to put the book down. When something happens to the characters involved, you find yourself taking the punches as they take them. The way the book describes the African topology and climate will create a desire to explore the country yourself. It is easy to see why Smith is so highly rated. He is quite a brilliant writer. Emotional and heart-warming, a fantastic sequel, not to be ignored!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, 8 Jun 2008
A stunning sequel picking up where the Lion feeds left off in exploding pace and drama. If you enjoyed The lion feeds and have not read this yet then I ask 'What's wrong with you order a copy now!!'

5.0 out of 5 stars What a follow up!, 13 Jul 2000
By The Sheriff "Nottingham" (Nottingham castle) - See all my reviews
After coming back from the wilderness, a rich man once again, only to find himself to have all his Ivory & money taken from him by the Boers, he find himself drawn into a war that divids the country. He has to make his mind up as to which side he will fight for ( & I won't tell you, because it will just ruin it! ) To gat there he has to cross through emeny lines, and it is here that he finds the woman of his dreams, but that would be all to simple. Togeather with this and the war its self, Wilbur Smith turns this into a compelling and exiciteing novel

What a way to continue the Courtney family saga!
