About this listen

The Malabar coast is full of dangers: greedy tradesmen, fearless pirates, and men full of vengeance. But for a Courtney, the greatest danger might just be his own family…

After his father’s gambling debts leave him penniless and in danger, Francis Courtney seeks revenge and fortune in South Africa. But on arrival, he uncovers a truth that leaves him overwhelmed and disoriented. Meanwhile, his cousin Christopher Courtney begins to make his own way in the world, foregoing the righteous path and falling prey to betrayal, violence and treachery.

In this epic journey from the southernmost point of Africa to the lush Indian coastline, the lives of these two Courtney men will intertwine, and forever alter the course of their famous family.

From the world’s greatest storyteller comes a compelling and breathless tale of intrigue and betrayal that draws the Courtney’s together, and just as easily tears them apart.

I thought the story was enthralling and it was also very well read. I listened to it whenever I could as I wanted to know what happened next.

It was brilliant!!

Fantastic historical fiction with the excellent discriptive prose that is Smiths' stock in trade.

Enjoy more of this tasy fare!

This was published about 20 years after the publication of the origilnal trilogy. It was ghost written and is not as good as the other three. Sex is very graphic and cheapens the novel. The narrator is not as versatile as Sean Barret who narrates the other titles.

Out of sequence.

Enjoyed the whole story, well written and drew me into the tale, I have read all the Courtney tales so had all the background. Did not however think some of the graphic language used to describe the various love elements added anything to the story. I didn’t need to know about the mechanics of the lovemaking, not very Wilbur Smith in that respect.

Rip roaring stuff
