Very good book

Very good story line, suspenseful & entertaining.I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Loved it

I read a lot of books. This series is among the best. Thank you for recording it.

The story of South Africa

No one can surpass Mr Smith his stories are incredible. It is like you are living and are part of the tale.

Good but not his best.

A little disjointed. More like a few short stories rather than one long one. Still good but he has set a high standard

The timelines continue

The timelines continue as the lives and past transgressions are slowly buried in the African sun. Many are the things we did as youths that now as older and wiser we would never do. The times, they are a changing-

Excellent series good book

My favorite series next to the Eg yptian series. some of the description of Africa are inspiring, but , as you get deeper in the series the books realm expands. so there are a lot of things and complexities yo track... pay attention.

exceptional

Exceptional narration and powerful rich story. This is a must listen to any one who loves South Africa.

Just the best!!

Loved it. So glad I was put into this author and this series. I wouldn't have thought it would really had been for me but boy oh boy, one book after the next thus far .... wow! Can't even fall asleep at night due to how awesome it is. Wished it was broke up in chapters though. Only complaint. Enjoy!!

power of the sword

This was an exhilarating book that kept me interested until the last page. The history is believable and the action tight. I recommend it highly to everyone.

Building a Wide Plot Successfully

This book creates so many unique and interesting characters, arcs, and warring political and cultural ideologies. I feel this is one of the best books in the series.
