GOLDEN LION

He saw his father executed in battle. He spent his youth avenging that death. And now Henry 'Hal' Courtney is a man with a ship – and a family – of his own.

But fate has not finished with Hal. On a voyage along the eastern shore of Africa, a powerful enemy abducts his wife, the fearless warrior Judith… and with her, Hal's unborn child. For Hal, a man all too familiar with loss, there is only one way forward: He must track his nemesis across desert and ocean, through the slave markets of Zanzibar and the dangerous waters of the coast, in pursuit of the woman he loves, the child he sired, and the glorious destiny that awaits him.

Bursting with action and suspense, heroism and heartache, this unforgettable novel proves once more that Wilbur Smith is the world's greatest adventure writer.

Ratings and reviews

This may be a wonderful book, but since it appears on the screen as about 1mm high, I'm mot going to be able to read it. No resetting on my part has been successful, even though I have tried at the correct places to do it. Please help. 😢

A good seafaring read. I like the premise of the story and characters were great. The finish was a bit dull compared the rest of the book. Worthy read.
