Henry "Hal" Courtney has always lived at sea. He watched his own father executed during the Anglo-Dutch naval war, and spent his entire young adulthood avenging his father's death. Now a truce has been made between the warring countries and Hal is captain of his own ship - the Golden Bough. From the slave markets of Zanzibar to the pirate-riddled waters of the Indian Ocean, Hal leads his crew in and out of the waves of danger. But he soon realizes that just because the war is over, does not mean the battle is won, and the more a man achieves, the more he has to lose.

It’s a series of highly unlikely events brought together in a very familiar and enjoyable style. Maybe a couple of the ‘coincidences’ could have been removed without affecting the story. Overall though, really enjoyable in a classic Wilbur Smith kind of way.

Another wonderful chapter in this family saga
Soon as I saw this next chapter in this series, I just couldn’t wait to start it, but at the same time, dreaded ending it as that meant I would have to wait for the next chapter to fill in the gaps. All I can say, is if you are a fan of the series, you will not be disappointed, from start to finish your heart will be in your mouth, and you will be wondering who will win? Good, or evil.
