The Courtneys Of Africa Series book 01
Narrator Tim Pigott-Smith

'Something always dies when the lion feeds and yet there is meat for those
that follow him.' The lion is Sean, hero of this tremendous drama of the
men who took possession of South Africa in the last quarter of the
nineteenth century.
Sean and his twin-brother Garrick grew up on their father's farm in Natal.
The first part of the book deals with his childhood and youth and his
longing to become a successful farmer and hard-hitting fighter like his
father.
The tough life of cattle-farming is brusquely interrupted by the Zulu Wars,
when Sean and his brother see fighting for the first time. Wilbur Smith
vividly recreates the excitement of the war for the young men-their hope
of winning their own cattle, the horror of the massacre at Isandhlwana,
the heroism of the defence at Rorkes Drift.
