Have listened to most WS stories Sean is a great narrator. Not sure which book chronologically follows this but can’t wait to find out.

Sean Barret the narrator
As always Wilbur Smith writes so beautifully and his work is not only exciting and a good fictional story but based on informative historical fact. I look forward to the next read with great enthusiasm

Another gripping tale of the Courtney saga
I can’t wait for the next book in this series. The narrator perform the book in such a captive way which enhances the story, it’s a wonderful book that has everything.

Mesmerising Classic
Wilbur Smith is my favourite author but some of his ghost writers do not capture the original characteristics of his books - sweeping historical stories with attention to detail , great heroes and despicable villains in spellbinding tales - this was an amazing story and is highly recommended

Nemesis was riveting from beginning to end
A marvellous story brilliantly narrated - as good as any from this master storyteller - kept me riveted throughout. What next for Adam and Paul?
