Synopsis

Johnny Lance and Benedict van der Byl, almost brothers, have come to the crossroads of their lifetime rivalry. Far beneath the African earth waits a fabulous cache of mineral wealth that can enrich Johnny beyond his wildest dreams -- or destroy him utterly. And years of hate that have festered in Benedict's soul are about to tip the balance . . .

About this title

Review:

"Wilbur Smith leaves fans feeling that they sailed alongside Sir Hal because the geography and the era appear so genuine. This is what makes a Smith book worth reading."--"Midwest Book Review "on "Monsoon" "Smith's novel is far more than your typical pirate script...A fascinating account...Smith deftly evokes not only the horrific but also the beautiful, particularly the lush landscape of Africa."--"The Washington Post Book World" on "Birds of Prey" "As usual, Smith...peoples his tale with unforgettable characters...Swashbuckling and sensuous, "Birds of Prey" is not for the faint-hearted. This latest epic transcends the average action-adventure yarn."--"The Orlando Sentinel" "A rich, compelling look back in time when history and myth intermingled."--"San Francisco Chronicle" on "River God" "Throughout "The Seventh Scroll," as in all Wilbur Smith novels, the plot twists and turns with constant surprises...This old-fashioned adventure novel keeps the reader enthralled all the way to its very exciting conclusion."--"The Washington Post Book World"

Book Description:
