Produktbeschreibung

BOOK 3 IN THE BALLANTYNE SERIES, BY INTERNATIONAL SENSATION WILBUR SMITH

'Best historical novelist' - Stephen King

'A master storyteller' - Sunday Times

'Wilbur Smith is one of those benchmarks against whom others are compared' - The Times

'No one does adventure quite like Smith' - Daily Mirror

TWO FAMILIES. TWO COUNTRIES. ONE CONFLICT.

Like his father Zouga, Ralph Ballantyne dreams of making his fortune from the rich lands of Africa. But the tribes that they - and men like them - previously exploited are rising up, and will no longer submit quietly to the greed and mindless destruction of these Colonial trespassers.

A hundred years later, the last Ballantyne, Craig Mellow, lives in the newly named Zimbabwe. The battle for Africa still rages, and for Craig there is a terrible price to pay for the actions of his ancestors . . .

A sweeping epic that explores over a century of Africa's history under colonialist rule from the late nineteenth century, The Angels Weep is a moving and exciting novel that was an instant bestseller on publication (1982).

The third book in the epic Ballantyne Series.

Book 4 in the Ballantyne series and the stunning conclusion to the story of the Ballantynes, The Leopard Hunts in Darkness, is available now.

He became a full-time writer in 1964 following the success of When the Lion Feeds, and has since published over fifty global bestsellers, including the Courtney Series, the Ballantyne Series, the Egyptian Series, the Hector Cross Series and many successful standalone novels, all meticulously researched on his numerous expeditions worldwide. An international phenomenon, his readership built up over fifty-five years of writing, establishing him as one of the most successful and impressive brand authors in the world.

Wilbur Smith passed away peacefully at home in 2021 with his wife, Niso, by his side, leaving behind him a rich treasure trove of novels and stories that will delight readers for years to come.
