My Pa het hierdie boek in my hand gestop en my gesê om dit 'n lees te gee. Ek is van toe af mal oor Wilbur Smith se werk en lees graag sy Courtney series so in sarsies as ek nie besig is met iets anders nie.

Wilbur Smith has done it again, a thrilling roller coaster of a novel, full of adventure and action, and packed with characters you will either love or loath as it journeys along the African coast in a time when the world was a different, simpler place.

This was actually the first book I read in the Courtney series, when I was a teenager taking it from my mum's bookshelf. I remember loving it, and re-reading it more than a decade later I still love it. It's one of his best that I've read so far, with well written characters and a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Mr Smith certainly give his readers good value for money. This is one epic chunk of tree! It has everything, action, adventure, romance and exotic locations. I did enjoy this, even tho it took me ages to read (but only because I just haven't had much time to spend on reading recently). Still, this book will be traveling to a new reader tomorrow and I will be reading the next installment in the series ... Monsoon!
