Publisher's Summary
Cry Wolf is an exhilarating adventure set in 1930s Africa, from the best-selling author, Wilbur Smith.
'It was only then that Jake realised that he still carried a full bottle of Scrubbs Ammonia in his hand. The lion came bounding swiftly through the shallow stagnant pool towards him. Despite the wounds, it flowed with lithe and sinuous menace. It was so close that he could see each stuff white whisker in the curled upper lip and hear the rattle of air in its throat. He let it come on, for to turn and run was suicide. At the last moment he reared back like a baseball pitcher and hurled the bottle.'
Jake Barton is an American engineer, Gareth Swales a stylish Englishman with a nose for a quick deal. Both have always moved from one escapade to another. Now, as Mussolini prepares to annihilate the people of Ethiopia, the two adventurers come up against Vicky Camberwell, the beautiful but fiery reporter bent on espousing their cause.
Striking a bargain with a beleaguered Ethiopian prince, the trio dares to run gauntlet, guns and a batch of run-down armoured cars in a final, desperate gamble for freedom....

A masterpiece, as expected.
It's Wilbur Smith. Don't expect anything less than his usual work of perfectly written art.

This is Wilbur Smith at his best!
I read WS’s books in my younger days. They seemed to be the same after awhile and I stopped.
This book will have me looking at his books again.
It was educational about Africa during the war.
Australians are fed a diet of Gallipoli ad nauseum.
It’s good to read about issues of other countries and how the power block tried to manipulate situations to their own advantage.
Nothing much has changed since...

Very Enjoyable.
I enjoyed this book. I found the narration a little pompous at times but overall a good book. Bring back narrator Sean Barrett.
