Story
It is the 1870s, and twin brothers Sean and Garrick Courtney are born into the wilds of Natal. They could not be more different, and fate, war and the jealous schemes of a woman are to drive them even further apart. But as history unfolds, a continent is awakening. And on the horizon is the promise of fortune, adventure, destiny and love.... When the Lion Feeds is the best-selling novel that launched Wilbur Smith's stellar career and the first in the riveting saga of the Courtney brothers.

Story
A lost civilisation. A curse reborn. Dr Ben Kazin has only a blurred photograph and a gut instinct that there is a lost city to uncover somewhere beneath the Botswana cliffs. Soon, a whispered curse and a chance encounter with a local tribe lead him to discover much more than city foundations. The curse, it seems, is real, and will link Ben, his oldest friend and the woman they both love with a forgotten leader from 2,000 years ago, in a city of glory and honour that subsequently disappeared without a trace.

Publisher's Summary
The Syrian plane disintegrated, evaporating in a gush of silvery smoke, rent through with bright white lightning, and the ejecting pilot's body was blown clear of the fuselage. For an instant it was outlined ahead of David's screen, cruciform in shape with arms and legs thrown wide, the helmet still on the head, and the clothing ballooning in the rush of air.
He chose this life. And it may cost him everything.
From a young age it's clear that David Morgan is 'bird' - a natural pilot, most at home in the air. In the South African Air Force he receives plaudits beyond his years, and even his family begins to accept that David will do anything to stay away from the Morgan billion-dollar business and to keep flying instead.
Following his dream and in pursuit of Debra, a beautiful young Israeli writer, David soon joins the Israeli Defence Force and finds himself caught up in the country's struggles. But when he pays a terrible price for his choices, will he be able to become the man he always hoped - or will he choose to disappear into the skies?
An action-packed thriller from global best seller Wilbur Smith.

May be my favorite
Although I enjoy all of Wilbur Smith's books, this may be my favorite. in addition to the customary action packed scenes, Smith shares immersive visions of Africa.

Terrifying and Hypnotic
I have long been an avid reader of Wilbur Smith books. they are always entertaining and enlightening The above title reflects 80 combat flying missions in the Viet Nam war, and 35 years as a board certified neurological surgeon. I almost quit the audiobook at the flaming plane crash. This awakened many repressed and painful wartime memories. The skill of the author and the reader kept pulling me back. Another Wilbur Smith Success.

Love Wilbur Smith
I love Wilbur Smith, he is a master storyteller. This book was even harsher than most of his. Not for the faint of heart but it did engage me and the characters very real.

Great story. Great plot twists. Smith is storytelling magician.
One of my favorite fictions. Read it first in Lake Maracaibo in 1978. Several times since. Audible brings it even better as my eyesight fades.

Multiple Dimensional
I have read several Wilbur Smith Books. They are all exciting and interesting but this is quite different in that he weaves Adventure, Danger, as well as a moving love story into one very entertaining novel. A real "thumbs up book."
