A lost civilisation. A curse reborn. Dr Ben Kazin has only a blurred photograph and a gut instinct that there is a lost city to uncover somewhere beneath the Botswana cliffs. Soon, a whispered curse and a chance encounter with a local tribe lead him to discover much more than city foundations. The curse, it seems, is real, and will link Ben, his oldest friend and the woman they both love with a forgotten leader from 2,000 years ago, in a city of glory and honour that subsequently disappeared without a trace.

The Syrian plane disintegrated, evaporating in a gush of silvery smoke, rent through with bright white lightning, and the ejecting pilot's body was blown clear of the fuselage. For an instant it was outlined ahead of David's screen, cruciform in shape with arms and legs thrown wide, the helmet still on the head, and the clothing ballooning in the rush of air.

Compelling
Although I would rate this the weaker story in the series, it’s still a compelling and powerful tale. Portraying the birth of apartheid and the struggle against it, with the usual characters playing important roles. The narration of Sean Barrett is superb yet again.

I lived those years
Unbelievable how much fact is written into Wilbur Smiths books. Takes me back. with this outstanding book the grip it had on me is beyond words. I highly recommend you read these books in sequence to fully grip the interwoven lives of the people. Although fictitious this book has depicted actual events. Brilliant as always.

Essential if you want to understand the Apartheid era
A magnificent story of the cultures, politics, intrigue and complexities of South Africa from pre WW2 till Apartheid became the order of the day.
- it will help the uninformed understand to sense of duty to the a nation, then a Republic & it’s Calvinistic yet racially oppressive national culture vs the communist inspired savage revolution that has resulted in a beautiful nation being turned to ashes, that became the inheritance of future generations, 30 years after Wilbur Smith penned this book in 1988…
A stunning read and magnificently narrated.
A must read ….

Exhilarating, frightening and
Another gripping saga told against the backdrop of the meticulously researched context of the apartheid era and the population’s struggle against it. Cruelty, cannibalism, sadomasochism, treason, betrayal, philandering, drug taking, murder, torture, revenge, corruption, and copious amounts of alcohol consumption are balanced against the ideas of family honour, love, loss, ambition, a battle against oppression, nationalism and freedom. The Courtney family at the centre of it all. At times the detailed descriptions of events had me wincing and even sucking in air as Smith drew me into the anger and the hatred. I am left wondering after 23 hours of intense action and adventure whether the ending wasn’t all too convenient and well too mellow! Sasha Courtney starts out as a sharp-minded, ambitious protagonist with a distant relationship with his children but seems to soften and calm towards the end, over-indulging his children creating some interesting outcomes. Similarly Manfred De Le Ray is a calculating and forceful character, it would have been more interesting I think if there were an ulterior motive for Manfred’s cooperation with Sasha played out towards the end, it would have made a good twist, although not a surprising one. As for Sean Courtney, I wonder if we’ll see more of him in subsequent stories and what Smith will do with this diabolical character. I am enjoying Smith’s construction of fictional events interwoven with intimate insights to the non-fiction events of the era. Education and entertainment in one read.

Barret plus Wilbur Smith
what another incredible performance by Sean Barret. what a rare talent. And what a rich and wonderful story telling by Wilbur Smith depicting South Africa during apartheid. I can't stop listening to this multi generational multi book series with a story set across a century and more. these characters feel almost real to me.

A great book from one of the great writers
Although I have an interest in South African history, especially the period of apartheid and the incarceration of many black leaders, this book is more than that. Like all Smith’s Courtenay series books, this is one of his greatest - perhaps for me because it is in my lifetime - but also because the plot is so crafted and interwoven around the family and it’s characters so vivid, both flawed and exotic. Sean Barrett is the perfect narrator for Wilbur Smith and although struggled at times in his earlier books is now well accomplished with the accents and characterisation. His delivery is almost flawless. Overall one of better books I have listened to. I put these two together up with Dickens for storytelling. Never a dull moment and always a morality tale.
