Product Description

Product Description

It is 1913 and ex-soldier turned professional big game hunter, Leon Courtney, is in British East Africa guiding rich and powerful men from America and Europe on safaris in the Masai tribe territories. One of his clients, German industrialist Count Otto Von Meerbach, has a company which builds aircraft and vehicles for the Kaiser’s burgeoning army. But Leon had not bargained for falling passionately in love with Eva, the Count’s beautiful and enigmatic mistress. Just prior to the outbreak of World War I, Leon is recruited by his uncle, Penrod Ballantyne, Commander of the British Forces in East Africa , to gather information from Von Meerbach. He stumbles on a plot against the British involving the disenchanted survivors of the Boer War, but it is only when Eva and Von Meerbach return to Africa that Leon finds out who and what is really behind the conspiracy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Assegai, Aug 8 2009
I have read most of his books and of lately I was most disappointed at the voilence directed towards animals and the wantom killings, I find it hard to beleive that anybody in this day and age would condone this kind of behaviour.

I for one will never buy another book of Wilbur Smith's if this what the content will be.

A great disappointment.

2.0 out of 5 stars Same old, same old., Jul 6 2009
I usually love Wilbur Smith stories, but lately am finding that they tend to follow the same tired old story line. He need to go off in a new tangent as the Courtneys and Ballentynes need to die off.
