About this title

Book Description:

The first novel in the classic Ballantyne Series

From the Back Cover:

Dr Robyn Ballantyne returns to southern Africa, the land of her birth, with her brother Zouga. They are in search of the father - a famous missionary and explorer - they barely remember. They board Mungo St John's magnificent clipper, but long before they sight Africa's shores, Robyn knows that while she and Mungo will battle with the fury of natural enemies, they are also fated to love each other with all the desperation of those unable to evade their fate.

Arriving at the mouth of the Zambesi, Robyn and Zouga plunge into the uncharted African interior, experiencing the beauty of an undiscovered land and the terrors of a treacherous guide and hostile tribesman. But Zouga's desire to seek his fortune, and Robyn's fascination with tracing their legendary father and investigating the slave trade, drives them ever onwards . . .

The first of the four Ballantyne novels, A Falcon Flies is a remarkable story, alive with the obsessions and impossible love of its heroine.
