About this listen
'We are Courtneys. We don't have to fight with our fists. We fight with power and money and influence. Nobody can beat us on our own ground.'
A powerful family. A time of war.
Centaine de Thiry Courtney has not only survived but thrived. A successful woman with two sons of her own: Shasa Courtney, the Courtney heir, and Manfred de la Rey, Shasa's half brother, her secret child raised solely by his father. At the time of the Great Depression, Centaine must make difficult decisions to ensure the security of her family - decisions that will affect Manfred and his father, Lothar de la Rey, a man Centaine once loved.
But the world is changing, and conflicts greater than any the world has seen before are looming. Centaine and her children must face the upcoming war - where not all of them will be on the same side....
A Courtney Series adventure - book 2 in the Burning Shore sequence.

Did not disappoint
These were difficult words because the book ranges from San-people to upper British, yet Sean Barrett reads in such a way that you know who is speaking. Plat Afrikaner, Fanigalo (in the mines), German lady and more. Well done Sean, you did not disappoint

Heroic story
The first half was everything you could want in an epic tale. Our heroine triumphs over her adversities in a harsh and unique environment. Her two sons are opposites in everything except their exceptional talents. The politics in the second half is what drives this second half of the story and in his usual way our author fills the pages with insight and knowledge. The history of the time and place seems infallible with the entertainments, sports and popular beliefs of that period used with skill. My only objection was his portrayal of women. Although our main female character achieves tremendous success the author is inconsistent with her character and her personality although I loved it!

A Wilbur Smith Masterpiece
What a great story and you get a history lesson too! These early books by the author are much better than the recent ones.
