Publisher's Summary
The sun went down behind the storm clouds, and stained them with its blood, then the rain fell upon the ship in torrents. Solid sheets of water hammered the wooden decks so hard that the din drowned the men's voices and blotted out their vision.
They leave as brothers. They must return as men.
Famed sailor Hal Courtney is now a man of land and family. But when the King orders him to sail to Madagascar and stop the pirates responsible for looting the finest trading ships of the East India Trading Company and bringing ruin to them all, Hal must travel with his three younger sons on a journey that will shape the young men forever.
In this swashbuckling adventure of marauders and slave traders, love and treasure, the brothers will face duels, chases, betrayals and battles - and see their fates cast in ways they could never have imagined....
A Courtney Series adventure - book two in the Birds of Prey trilogy.

Wilbur smith is a master storyteller
After listening to Monsoon, I’m sad that I have only 1 book remaining in the Courtney series. Every book is a page turner that’s impossible to put down. Wilbur Smith is a master!

Fantastic book!
25 or so years ago I borrowed my fathers copy of this book and was introduced to one of my favorite authors. After that I read any of his books I could get my hands on. All out of sequence etc. This book is where I discovered my love of adventure novels. Especially historical adventure. I can’t get enough and Wilbur Smith is a master of adventure.
I loved this book then and even more now listening to it. The narration was really good and enhanced the story so much. Back then I didn’t even realize it was book 2 of a trilogy, it stands alone quite well. But I really enjoyed Listening to all 3 books this time each one is fantastic.
I highly recommend this book to everyone. It’s such a great adventure.

Yet another epic story by Wilbur Smith.
I started with River God and read many in that series as well as The Courtney’s saga and every single one is amazing. I’ve gone back and reread some favorite authors and they don’t compare.
