Historical
The saga of the legendary Courtney family continues in
this fourteenth installment in Wilbur Smith’s bestselling
series—the sequel to 2009’s Assegai—a thrilling tale of
espionage, adventure, and danger, set in Africa and
spanning from the Great War’s end to the dark days of
World War II. As a member of the remarkable Courtney family, Leon
Courtney knows how quickly fortunes can be won and lost.
Over the course of more than two centuries, generations
of his family have risen and fallen with the tides of
history. Leon, too, has experienced his own share of
triumph and pain. In the wake of his beloved wife’s
death, the renowned big-game hunter is raising his young
daughter, Saffron, alone in colonial Kenya. In the 1920s, the continent of Africa is a dangerous
place. As Leon attempts to navigate the murky political
waters of this most exquisitely beautiful and wildest of
lands, his daughter grows into an independent and
headstrong young woman bound for a far different life in
Britain, as a student at Oxford. But over the course of more than two decades, spies,
traitors, and adventurers will dog their every step. As
the fitful years of peace lead to the outbreak of the
Second World War—involving Africa once more—Leon and
Saffron must fight for their survival . . . and that of
their illustrious family. Wilbur Smith masterfully captures the tensions that will
spark a war across continents—and the uncertainty and
hopes of a father and daughter caught in its grips—in
this engrossing novel that delivers the fast-paced action
and vivid history that have made him a living legend.
