A BATTLE FOR HONOUR AGAINST A POWERFUL NEW ENEMY South Africa, 1820 When Ann Waite discovers a battered longboat washed ashore in Algoa Bay, she is stunned to find two survivors: a badly scarred sailor and a little boy. As the man walks away into the morning mist alone, refusing to take the child - Harry - with him, Ann is left with no choice but to raise the boy as her own. After two years of disaster and hardship in the African interior, desperation drives Ann and Harry back into the path of the mysterious shipwrecked man. Ralph Courtney has recently escaped from Robben Island and is determined to seek his fortune in Nativity Bay, the hidden harbour that his father told him about when he was a boy. But it isn't long before Ralph, Ann and their fellow settlers learn that Nativity Bay now lies on the borders of a mighty kingdom, where the warrior king Shaka rules. With no means of making their way back to Algoa Bay, Ralph is forced into a bargain with the Zulu king which will lead him to confront the past that he has been running from for his entire life.

The genuine feel of Wilbur Smith in a new branch of the Courtney family.
The style and the story is remarkably close to the feel of any Wilburn Smith story. The story flows well and maintains the pace and excitement, within the historic time frame in the early 19th Century. Africa has provided the wealth of background to all Wilbur Smith's books and this complies with that structure. I enjoyed this book and will continue with the new branch of the Courtney family in the subsequent planned volumes. A good read for anyone.
