DescriptionThe Courtneys meet the Ballantynes in this epic African adventure from one of the world's most celebrated novelists. Queen Victoria's reign is in full flourish, her empire expanding and her colonies stretching across the globe. In Africa, the land proves rich with minerals, and the trading companies continue to cross the seas and grow. On the banks of the river Nile, two families meet: the Courtneys and the Ballantynes. Both influential, powerful, and determined to dominate, their encounter provides the background for Wilbur Smith's dramatic and powerful novel. It is Wilbur Smith at his masterful best.
