About this listen

Shasa closed his mouth slowly. The very foundations of his political beliefs and principles were shaken and the walls cracked through. They had led him up into a high place and shown him the prize that was his for the taking.

The future of a country. The end of a family.

Shasa Courtney, heir to the Courtney fortunes, dreams only of uniting his divided, beloved country. Against all his principles, he allows his half brother Manfred to persuade him to join South Africa's right-wing National Party, hoping to moderate from within their dangerous policies of apartheid.

But Shasa's wife is working against everything he's working for while Manfred has deadly secrets he cannot afford to be revealed, either to his family or the public who are on the brink of war. In the terrible struggle for the future of South Africa, the Courtney family will be torn apart - and many will have to pay a terrible price....

A Courtney Series adventure - book 3 in the Burning Shore sequence.

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 ….

Essential if you want to understand the Apartheid era

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.

Compelling

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.
