I'm not sure how this book landed on my list of books to read as I was not familiar with the author or the title, but I ordered it up from my local library on CD and from the first disc I was hooked. I was spellbound by this explosive adventure story with its multiple plots filled with intrigue, tragedy, violence, vengeance and passion. Wilbur Smith weaves a story that is so descriptive and exciting that I was swept away to South Africa. Now that is is done, I learn that it is the third in a series (preceded by Monsoon and Birds of Prey), but I didn't feel my experience was diminished by not reading them first. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0333761359, Hardcover)

At the close of Wilbur Smith's bestselling Monsoon, Tom Courtney and his brother Dorian battled on the high seas and finally reached the Cape of Good Hope to start life afresh. In this spellbinding new novel, the next generation of Courtneys are out to stake their claim in Southern Africa, travelling along the infamous 'Robber's Road'. It is a journey both exciting and hazardous, that takes them through the untouched wilderness of a beautiful land filled with warring tribes and wild animals. At heart a story of love and hatred, vengeance and greed, Blue Horizon is an utterly compelling adventure from one of the world's most celebrated novelists.
