Loaned to me by a friend who promised me a great story. He was right. I am now a Wilbur Smith Fan.

Great paced adventure story - Indiana Jones style. Action all the way and pure escapism (

I can't stop reading Wilbur Smith. His books are action packed with fantastic characters. YOu can't stop reading because you want to know what will happen! Blue Horizon is great. I read Monsoon first and then this one. It's a continuation of the Courtney Family in Africa in the 1700's. Dorian and Tom are older now and their sons feature heavily in this book. I completely recommend it. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0330376314, Paperback)

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. "Wilbur Smith is one of those benchmarks against whom others are compared" - "The Times". "A masterstory teller" - "Sunday Times".
