A lost civilisation. A curse reborn. Dr Ben Kazin has only a blurred photograph and a gut instinct that there is a lost city to uncover somewhere beneath the Botswana cliffs. Soon, a whispered curse and a chance encounter with a local tribe lead him to discover much more than city foundations. The curse, it seems, is real, and will link Ben, his oldest friend and the woman they both love with a forgotten leader from 2,000 years ago, in a city of glory and honour that subsequently disappeared without a trace.

Truly Outstanding
Wilbur Smith has to be one of the finest authors out there. His books are truly outstanding and this one was no exception. I usually tire of book series by the time I get to the third book but I purchased the next book in this series right away. Smith can weave a fine story and the Courtney series has to be among the most powerful books I have read. Wilbur Smith is now my new favorite writer.

Good but not great
This was not one of my favorite Wilbur Smith books. There was too much romance for me. I think Wilbur is better with action. Also, the protagonist Mark Anders was not a very compelling hero. I preferred the other books where Sean Courtney was the central character. All in all it was good but not great.

I have read all of the books written by Wilbur Smith, that on it's own tells a story. Since I have started procuring the Audible copies to enjoy them once more. This is the second copy narrated by Sean Barret, which I have thoroughly enjoyed and which complements the well written and researched book.

A magnificent end to a wonderful trilogy
I read when the lion feeds many years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it . However, reading it again, together with the enthralling narration by Sean Barrett added so much depth to the story that I just had to keep reading the rest of the trilogy. I have always
been an avid reader but I can confidently say that this is probably the best advert there can be for Audible.

Fear Colour Passion Intrigue
From the opening scene to the last minute this story has something for everyone. It is expertly presented enhancing the authors words and expression to take you into the world of people of a Generation now lost in the mist of time.
An impressive and much enjoyed work.

WWI and Natal Parks Board in all its glory
As always, this is exceptionally well narrated and a story that’s thrilling, tragic, stunning and full of love for nature, life, love & friendship … all laced with the horror of war, betrayal, murder and even PTSD.
A must read if you want to understand the Natal bush.

Thrilling at every turn.
Simply masterful! Sean Barrett is outstanding! Onto the next in the series, but first, I am grieving a little for the end of an era as the Courtney family saga takes a dramatic turn.

Always a shame when you get to the end...!
Once again Sean Barrett absolutely smashes it! I can't imagine someone else reading one of these books, and it is a delight to hear each one read by this amazingly talented voice!
And now onto the next one!
I thoroughly recommend this to anyone who likes well read, well written stories. And hey, who doesn't like a bit of Sean Courtney?!!

Considered Keith Roberts' masterwork, this novel consists of linked short stories (six measures and a coda) of a 20th century in which the Roman Catholic Church controls the Western world, and has done so since Queen Elizabeth of England was assassinated in 1588. The Protestant Reformation never happened, and the world is kept in a Dark Age of steam-power transportation, with no allowance for electrical power, by a tyrannical Rome.
