‘With a dull but awful roar, the Mirage bloomed with dark crimson flame and sooty black smoke, the wind ripped flames outwards in great streamers and pennants that engulfed all around them, and David staggered onwards in the midst of the roaring furnace that seemed to consume the very air.’ Drawn to the sky as though to his natural element, young David Morgan spurns the boardroom future mapped out for him by his family for the life of a jet pilot. Then he meets Debra, the beautiful Israeli writer for whom he will fight, in another country’s war, at the controls of his Mirage. Yet the breathless action which brings them together is also the very tragedy that will threaten to tear them apart . . .

War Cry

She felt Ramn come awake and spring from the bed, naked and lithe as a jungle cat. She heard the metallic snicker of a firearm as he snatched the pistol from the holster. In the darkness a yellow flower of gun-flamed bloomed, and a single bullet whiplashed across twenty yards of open ground... In the searing heat of a divided Africa two decades of bitter dynastic conflict explode with terrifying ferocity. To Gary and Sean Courtney it is a struggle to the end; brother pitted against brother as they are dragged unwittingly into the lair of an international terrorist. Only Isabella Courtney stands between them and the mutual destruction they have willed for so long. Beautiful, headstrong Isabella; the link to 'Golden Fox' - a man whose alias hides a sinister and deadly secret... Traversing a vast panorama, from the heart of London society to the grandeur of Spain, from parched Ethiopia to war-torn Angola and on to the blazing hunting grounds of South Africa and Zimbabwe, Golden Fox is masterful storytelling from the arena of war; an adventure of stirring, irresistible intensity.

A Time to Die

Classic adventure from Wilbur Smith.A single ball came through at deck level, It struck a burst of sparks from the steel hull, like Brocks Fireworks at Crystal palace, brilliant orange even in the strong sunlight, and the hole it tore through Black Joke's plating was fringed with bare jagged tongues of metal like the petals of a silver sunflower.'

The jet was a solid eighteen-inch column, a pillar of brown mud and yellow gravel and sea water that beat against the steel plates of the hull with a hollow drumming roar.

Despues de la muerte de la reina Lostris, Taita sigue todos los rituales del embalsamamiento y entierro de su amada. Devastado por el dolor, se retira a los desiertos del norte, donde se convierte en ermitano. Con el paso de los anos, se dedica al estudio de lo oculto, la magia y lo sobrenatural. Armado de extraordinarios poderes, se transformara en Hechicero. [...] -Sobrestimas mi valor, senor Regente. Soy un viejo debil. Naja sonrio. -Viejo? Eres viejo, si. Me han dicho que tienes mas de doscientos anos. Taita inclino la cabeza, sin confirmarlo ni negarlo. -Pero debil, no. Eres viejo y monumental como las montanas. Todos saben que tu sabiduria no tiene limites. Posees hasta los secretos de la vida eterna. El halago era flagrante y desvergonzado. Taita miro mas alla, buscando los motivos ocultos. Naja lo observaba en silencio, expectante. Que esperaba oir? El anciano lo miro a los ojos, afinando la mente para captar sus pensamientos. Eran tan fugaces y evanescentes como huidizas siluetas de murcielagos contra el cielo oscurecido del crepusculo. Pero logro atrapar uno entero; entonces comprendio que deseaba Naja de el. Ese conocimiento le brindo poder; el camino se abria ante el como las puertas de una ciudad capturada. -Todos los reyes y todos los sabios buscan desde hace mil anos el secreto de la vida eterna -dijo suavemente. [...] Con el trasfondo enigmatico de una atmosfera esoterica, Hechicero revive una vez mas al antiguo Egipto, un mundo de violencia, intrigas, pasiones y amor perdurable. Wilbur Smith alcanza asi la cima de su formidable poder narrativo.
