Publisher's summary

A nail-biting story of courage, bravery, rebellion and war from the master of adventure fiction.

The war is over; Hitler is dead - and yet his evil legacy lives on. Saffron Courtney and her beloved husband, Gerhard, only just survived the brutal conflict, but Gerhard's Nazi-supporting brother, Konrad, is still free and determined to regain power. As a dangerous game of cat and mouse develops, a plot against the couple begins to stir. One that will have ramifications throughout Europe....

Further afield in Kenya, the last outcrop of the colonial empire is feeling the stirrings of rebellion. As the situation becomes violent, and the Courtney family home is under threat, Leon Courtney finds himself caught between two powerful sides - and a battle for the freedom of a country.

Thrilling tale!

This is a thrilling tale especially for those who can relate to the places and events on which it is based. A little long-winded in the beginning, the second half of the book is gripping and can’t be put down (off).

Not my favorite

Wilbur Smith is one of my favorite authors but three quarters if this book really dragged in and it was a struggle to stay engaged.
