Customer Reviews

I'm not alone!

Glad to see that this book moved others as much as it did me. I had just returned from living and working, briefly, in Tel Aviv when I found and read this. We drank many a Goldstar beer while there and the mention of that in the book brought a smile to my face. Mr. Smith's description of that beautiful land was right on target. Anyone with a soul will love this story...

Master at his very best

This is a brilliant book that affected me on every level. Read this and you step on to a rollercoaster of emotions that throws up many surprises and yet is always believable. Despite some extreme violence, Smith writes with compassion but without excessive sentimentality, and the action is thrilling. Here he is in total command of his story. Yes, one of my top ten books ever.

Best book I've ever read

I read the book when I was 15 and I am 35 now. In retrospect, it is the best book I have ever read. A word of caution: read the last page carefully.

Smith's best

I've read all 27 of Wilbur Smith's books -- looking back I have to say that this one is the best. It's not the funniest, most interesting, or most exciting of his books, but it certainly made the biggest impact on me. Just thinking about the book (and it's been a long while since I've read it) sends a wave of emotion over me.

The best book ever written!

David and Deborah meet and fall in love. She invites him to her home in Irael. There the adventure of their lives begin. Through triumph, tragedy and... well read the best book ever written. You will not be disappointed. In fact you will not be able to put the book down once you have picked it up. And when you have have finished you will wish it could have lasted longer.
