GOLDEN LION

He saw his father executed in battle. He spent his youth avenging that death. And now Henry 'Hal' Courtney is a man with a ship – and a family – of his own.

But fate has not finished with Hal. On a voyage along the eastern shore of Africa, a powerful enemy abducts his wife, the fearless warrior Judith… and with her, Hal's unborn child. For Hal, a man all too familiar with loss, there is only one way forward: He must track his nemesis across desert and ocean, through the slave markets of Zanzibar and the dangerous waters of the coast, in pursuit of the woman he loves, the child he sired, and the glorious destiny that awaits him.

Bursting with action and suspense, heroism and heartache, this unforgettable novel proves once more that Wilbur Smith is the world's greatest adventure writer.

What did you love best about Golden Lion?

Great story...never a dull moment. Lots of twists; very suspenseful. Wonderful characters you can relate to; even in strange places. The narration was so vivid, I could almost cast the characters in my head for an HBO series. I hope they pick up this book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Hal Courtney. He was simply a good man...uncomplicated.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Hal's sailors rescued him from the mine fort.

Who was the most memorable character of Golden Lion and why?

Judith Nazeth. The idea of a capable female heroine in those times is very appealing.

Any additional comments?

Loved this book.

gripping story

loved the story gripping to the end. great adventure story and awesome charetors. really enjoyed listening to the audio book

Over all good

Overall it was good well written not quite up to the same standards is it normal Wilber Smith book. The ending was a little lackluster and could’ve used a little more Description. Narrator as usual was very good spoke in a way that sounded probably somewhat what the time sounded like brought the characters out well.

Excellent audio book

I loved how the narrator adapted his voice to each character of the book. Each chapter left you wanting to hear more. I was almost sad when the book was finished.
