"Wilbur Smith is one of the best writers of epic historical fiction, in my humble opinion. This novel is one of a series, and the characters are depicted against the backdrop of the South Africa of the 1950's and 1960's. Smith is sometimes over-the-top, but he is still one of the world's greatest storytellers."
"Interesting story, very political. This is not one of my favorite Courtney books. I found the characters dull, the focus seemed to be more on what was going on around them instead of focusing on themselves."
"These take the Courtney family into Africa. I was interesting historical fiction and brought out the "safari" in me. The Africa series was a fun transition from the high sea's. Basically, the Courtney family is bad ass and they all have the genetic disposition to be a true hero except for the occasional evil half brother who is still usually bad ass."
