About the book

A SPECIAL 60th ANNIVERSARY COLLECTOR'S EDITION OF THE FIRST BOOK IN WILBUR SMITH'S CELEBRATED COURTNEY SERIES. Only 750 copies printed.

WITH MATERIAL INCLUDED FROM THE AUTHOR'S ARCHIVES AND AN INTRODUCTION BY CONN IGGULDEN.

Brothers by birth. Enemies by blood.

Natal, 1860; the Courtney twins are born. Heirs to their father's fortune, destiny divides the boys from the start - Garrick is eager to stay indoors with a book and escape the hardships of cattle-rearing, while Sean, strong and much-loved, wants to try his hand at everything. When Garrick is forced to take ownership of their farm, Sean must explore the opportunities awaiting him: the rush and horrors of the Zulu Wars, the women who will fall for his charms, the rise and fall of gold fever and the deadly thrills of big game hunting on the African plains. But will Sean's adventures really be his making - and at what ultimate cost . . . ?
