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.

his books always draw you in to the lives of his characters. Africa in the raw

Wilber Smith at his best

I think that WS had evolved his skill in previous books and refined it in this the culmination of the Courtney family.
The racial politics of the time are fairly portrayed from all angles, and many of the outcomes predicted have come to pass decades after the book was written, once again showing WS deep insight into human nature.
Good narration managed to portray emotions in the many acents in an understated way that makes the characters believable.

WS at the height of his power.

Constant exciting storytelling and the love of Africa and the gradual unfolding of the inevitable and I think will be the sad beginning of the end for the white tribes in that lovely country.

One of the best in the Courtney series. Sean Barrett is the most brilliant narrator.

I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book and all the books in the Courtney series. Wilbur Smith is a magician with words! My husband had been trying to get me to read Wilbur’s books for years but I haven’t had the time to do it so he bought me a years subscription and I have listened to them this way but I may read and enjoy them again if I ever retire!

Highly recommended!

Makes for a great read, but once one gets hooked on the audible-version...... it will keep one hooked during long-days of hard labour (ear-budz), lazy weekends (b/t-speakers) or just rush-hour traffic (car-audio)!!
Wilbur Smith is treuly a master at living-up history through real-live ordinary humans in the details utilising emotions, passion and heart-aches. There is no room for fantasy in history, although the amound of life-lessons is limitless. Trueth of life's jing-yang is throuh-out evident where every action (good or bad intended) always plays out with an equal, but opposite re-action.....esspecially if "the other person's situation" is not concidered in life.
I love the true history being played out over generations and the trueth in a shrewd way, where later generations will, unfortunately mess-up their values and future.....by "fighting with/against their own roots"

Hooked. Mix-up history, patriotism & passion......
