Another Courtney banger! Up there with Wilbur’s best. Movies need to be made, starting with Birds of Prey.

An outstanding book!
The narration was impeccable.
A rich book typical of Smith with memorable characters and wonderful imagery. I was swept along by the story and will enjoy this book over many times.
A touching bookend to the Courtney saga, it honors the stories of lives gone before. Sad we lost Smith but his beautiful tales remain.

Powerful story
What can one say about Wilbur Smith books except once you pick them up, they’re very hard to put down. I’m not a literary critic but I bought When The Lion Feeds around 1970, loved it and have read all his books as they’ve been released over the years since. I love that a lot of Mr Smiths writing, although fiction, are loosely based on fact. You get to really enjoy a good yarn and get a bit of an education at the same time.

Courtney latest
Great series. Well written. Factual information as usual cannot wait until the next in the series is written. Hopefully by an author as good as Wilbur now he has died.
