Rage Courtney Family Adventures Wilbur Smith Books
This book is another one of Wilbur Smith`s masterpieces that covers history, thriller, adventure, romance. Simply one of the best books I've ever read in my life.I live in Africa and even though the plot is placed within the 50/60, some parts of the book are so real and still alive on our day to day lives.
It helped me to understand the history, motives and reasons of so many things that are still happening in Africa today.
Helped me to understand a bit more about the past so that I can understand a bit more about the present.
This book is excellent. Well written. The characters are so alive that I can see some of them in people I
know. My very own South African husband for example. In my friends and even the ones that work for me.
I fully recommend.

Rage Courtney Family Adventures Wilbur Smith Books Reviews
Classic Wilbur Smith novel from his heyday as an author.
I loved this book. The burning shore,power of the sword and rage are all incredible. Such an amazing story and characters. I love the history and geography of both prequels to this, this one has the same with more political depth.
all of the Wilbur Smith novels are great reading....great enough for me to want to read them all. Since one can't put the books down, it is best started in Winter, but plan to read thru until the next winter or as long as the supply of books continues. My library has some, and I've bought some.
A sort of South African James Mitchner...
set in South Africa, the Boer War figures in here and there, WWI in later novels....following the Courtney family line....strong men and women.....another colony founding family which suffers set backs and great advancements. Gold, Diamonds, love and land. Safari in the old wild Africa...on horseback and Zulu warriors. Apartheide's Mandella eventually arise......I haven't been able to read the series in order, so this is not a true review...but I can say if you want a good read...this is it....regardless of which book of Wilbur Smiths you happen to pick up.

Especially when The family ventures around Africa ... and his books that go into the Egyptian tombs are intense ... very VISUAL ... you can FEEL the Lion shredding the hunter or the native tribesmen. If you like ACTION and lots of it ... you will love Wilbur Smith. I recommend ALL of his books but if you want a REALLY good start read Monsoon!! Fast delivery ... GREAT BOOKS !!!
I liked this book. Interesting history and life in Africa. Unexpected turns is the story
One of my favorite Smith books
From the Burning Shore , to Power of the Sword, and then Rage, the fascinating 3 generation history of So.Africa's sometime violent, sometime beautiful history is laid out in a magical way, making the reader want to literally burn through the pages. On second reading, but much more slowly this time, the history, altho fictionalized, is a heart pounding non-stop 3 book read. Anybody who has read Wilbur Smith knows his intriguing writing style is second to none in this massive historical fiction, going back another 3 centuries, all woven around the ficitious Courtney family.
For those who have never had the delight of reading Wilbur Smith, or know very little about So. Africa and are interested in African game animals, politics, war, family intrigue...you are in for a thrill when you finally sit down and start with the Burning Shore and then finish Rage. This is writing anyone can enjoy.
Mr Smith you have set aside your praise of Africa beauty and in its place we see the beauty of its women and girls black and white. And right off the big game hunt of the father and 3 sons and the youngest with bad eyes and specticals saves them all by killing a charging lion. Then the sex education of all the kids with the oldest learning from his art teacher and meanwhile the parents are learning from others including a black man who gives mommy another kid. While this going on the story of apartheid and its blood and gore kept me riveted throughout.Needless to say this is another masterpiece
