About this listen

In this brand-new Courtney Series novel by best-selling author Wilbur Smith comes an epic story of tragedy, loss, betrayal and courage that brings the listener deep into the seething heart of the French and Indian War.

1754. Inseparable since birth and growing up in India, Theo and Connie Courtney are torn apart by the tragic death of their parents.

Theo, wracked with guilt, seeks salvation in combat and conflict, joining the British in the war against the French and Indian army. Connie, believing herself abandoned by her brother, and abused and brutalised by a series of corrupt guardians, makes her way to France, where she is welcomed into high society. Here, she once again finds herself at the mercy of vicious men, whose appetite for war and glory lead her to the frontlines of the French battlefield in North America.

As the siblings find their destinies converging once more, they realise that the vengeance and redemption they both desperately seek could cost them their lives....

The Courtneys start in India, one travelling to America, then gets adopted by Indians, becomes a trapper for the English, marries, and oh so much more. His sister goes from India to Paris, then travels to America and lo and behold finds her brother. Such a fantastic tale could never happen in real life, or could it……? Written by the master of imagination. Very different from the other Courtney books but it makes me want to read them again to see where this fits in.

I love Wilbur Smith, but the books with Tom Harper does not live up to the standard. Story felt rushed in alot of places, also felt like some parts were forced in to steer the story in a certian direction. Theos story is what kept me listening. Constance story was a drag and felt forced and without purpose.

Not as good as expected

I found the audiobook very easy to follow it was good entertainment always keeping the reader focused on the plot.

Well written . Plenty of things going on all through the story. The relationship between sister and brother was well planned out , then the people they met and became close to them. Description of things that was going on around them both whilst apart and trying to find each other once more was more or less true to live.
