He began life at his twin brother’s side, soon running wild on his father’s ranch on the edge of Africa. But violence, desire, and fate sent Sean Courtney into exile—where he would fight and love his way to extraordinary success and heartbreaking failure...

In a place called The Ridge of White Waters, Sean made a life-long friendship, mined a fortune of gold, and met his own demons. Then an act of cunning betrayal struck—and ignited a new adventure to a new frontier.

From facing the murderous charge of a towering bull elephant to watching men die unspeakable deaths, Sean fought new enemies, forged new allies—and dreamed of establishing a family on a farm of his own. But the young man who had lived by his courage, sweat, and blood was about to discover that the past still had its claws in him… (show less)

I am loving Wilbur Smit's work more and more with every one of his works that i get to read.
We meet the Courtney brothers at a young age and we join Sean Courtney for an adventure that lasts for over 10 years. In the 10 years after Sean leaves the family farm, he becomes more than just rich, he loses all his money and fame, and he starts from scratch again.
Now personally, I am not happy at all with what happened to Duff, I think there could have been much more in the story from that side.
On the other hand, I believe that what happened to Katrina was best for the series, and having her in the story was a pain to me. The last third of the book was painful and difficult to get through. It was not bad, it was just not what i "Wanted" it to be.
I can't wait to get to read the 2nd Book in the series, probably in a week or two. (show less)

The book itself carries quite a fast pace (which is good) and the main character, Sean Courtenay does it all. I found the book to be a bit of a downer overall. I found it hard to like Sean. Great things happen to him and terrible things happen to him but I didn't feel emotionally involved in any of it. A bit of a dissapointment for me. (show less)

    Wilbur Smith's best work undoubtedly lies in his series on Ancient Egypt. If you happen to have read "Men of Men" before reading this, then play the game I like to call 'spot the recycled characters and plots' as you saunter through this one. Entertaining, all the same, though.

    The second Wilbur Smith book I have read. This book is the first one he published in 1964. I am now going to read them in order as they were published. Wonderful story about Africa and the characters in it.
