When the Lion Feeds
Courtney Family 1
Wilbur Smith New Paperback
Product information
Full publisher description
A special reissue of the first book in Wilbur Smith's long-running Courtney Series to mark the 60th anniversary.
With an introduction by bestselling author, Conn Iggulden.
Brothers by birth. Enemies by blood.
Natal, 1860; the Courtney twins are born. Heirs to their father's fortune, destiny divides the boys from the start - Garrick is eager to stay indoors with a book and escape the hardships of cattle-rearing, while Sean, strong and much-loved, wants to try his hand at everything. When Garrick is forced to take ownership of their farm, Sean must explore the opportunities awaiting him: the rush and horrors of the Zulu Wars, the women who will fall for his charms, the rise and fall of gold fever and the deadly thrills of big game hunting on the African plains. But will Sean's adventures really be his making - and at what ultimate cost . . . ?
'Wilbur Smith is one of those benchmarks against whom others are compared' THE TIMES
'Best Historical Novelist - I say Wilbur Smith, with his swashbuckling novels of Africa. The bodices rip and the blood flows. You can get lost in Wilbur Smith and misplace all of August' STEPHEN KING
'Action is the name of Wilbur Smith's game and he is the master' WASHINGTON POST
