Review: wilber smith courtney series - Excellent and well written stories that I often read. This is a gift for a friend I have introduced to this author. Review: Possibly the best Wilbur Smith book - This is the second time of reading 'When The Lion Feeds', and after a long interval I had forgotten just how good a read it was, great story and history of South African gold mining, the Zulu War and the run up to the Boer War. Looking forward to the sequels. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the audiobook but I'm a 'page-turner' by inclination.
