About this listen

In this brand-new Courtney Series novel by best-selling author Wilbur Smith comes an epic story of tragedy, loss, betrayal and courage that brings the listener deep into the seething heart of the French and Indian War.

1754. Inseparable since birth and growing up in India, Theo and Connie Courtney are torn apart by the tragic death of their parents.

Theo, wracked with guilt, seeks salvation in combat and conflict, joining the British in the war against the French and Indian army. Connie, believing herself abandoned by her brother, and abused and brutalised by a series of corrupt guardians, makes her way to France, where she is welcomed into high society. Here, she once again finds herself at the mercy of vicious men, whose appetite for war and glory lead her to the frontlines of the French battlefield in North America.

As the siblings find their destinies converging once more, they realise that the vengeance and redemption they both desperately seek could cost them their lives....

Some recent Wilbur Smiths seem to have run out of steam towards the end of the book, as if the author had tired of the story and wanted it over as soon as possible, leaving it to peter out somewhat disappointingly. That does not apply to this one, which keeps up a breakneck pace from start to finish. I found it enthralling, in a Boy's Own Adventure sort of way, the only downside being tha narration, which, sadly, I found a little indistinct. Maybe it's my hearing!

A cracking good read from start to finish.
