In search of the father they barely remember, Zouga and Dr. Robyn Ballentine board Mungo St. John's magnificent clipper bound for Africa. But if Robyn can bring hope and healing to Africa's fever-riddern shores, Mungo, a lawless trader in human cargo, will possess any man - or woman - he chooses.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling, fast moving, turn of the century adventure., 23 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A Falcon Flies (Paperback)
Following the adventures of a brother and sister expedition to deepest Africa. Retracing the footsteps of their failed, missing Father, Zouga and Robyn trek into the African heartland's, each with there own goal. This book sets the pace for a great series following the Ballantyne family. Split into the tales of the brother and sister, this book is both refreshing and compelling. With adventures taking place on the seas and mainland, this book is fictionally spellbinding and together with Smith's factual knowledge of the Continent, a truly good read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dull, 6 Mar 2008
By S. Gower (Berkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Falcon Flies (Paperback)
I am a fan of Wilbur Smith and have enjoyed a lot of his books. If you have read any of his work before, you will recognise the familar stories featuring action, adventure and romance. This one takes you on an adventure through Africa in the mid 19th Century towards the end of the slave trade.

However, the characters are dull and the story is all a bit cheesy. I plodded through half the book to get to any decent story, before it all tailed off again. Wilbur always does his research, and I suppose I know a lot more about 19th century medicine and the slave trade than I did. But's it's all just a bit dull. If you do insist on reading it, prepare your self for detailed accounts of various deseases, gruesome operations, starvation and drawn out deaths.

For a better adventure story, read The Seventh Scroll or The Blue Horizon, which are both much better.
