La acción se desarrolla en los años previos a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, entre las minas de oro africanas, los cielos de Abisinia y el estadio olímpico de Berlín, en el corazón mismo de la Alemania nazi. Manfred De la Rey y Shasa Courtney son medio hermanos —ambos hijos de Centaine de Thiry Courtney, recordada protagonista de Costa ardiente—. Están mortalmente enemistados y libran entre sí una guerra privada sin cuartel. Swashbuckling Adventure and Some History to Boot……. This epic (871 pages) starts at the end of WWI and takes the reader through 1948. It’s a riveting historical fiction fueled account of South Africa during that time and Smith illustrates the issues of South Africa through the characters well. The characters are great and while there is a tinge of “airliner thriller” here, it is coupled with a Hemingway-esque atmosphere and attitude. The book has all the goods: from the political intrigues, family clashes, sex, romance, wars (WWI, reference to the Boer Wars, WWII) and some captivating scenes at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. But Africa is where the bulk of the story resides. The African scenes are enthralling and I confess to have consulted the history books and maps, many times, to know more. So I’d say Smith captured me and certainly enough so to read some of his others. Looking forward to more. I say. Nice work old boy. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
