There is peace in the Courtney household, or so Saffron believes, until their eldest son, Leon, stows away on a train to the front line, determined to join his distinguished uncle, Penrod Ballantyne, in changing the course of history. Saffron and Ryder have no choice but to leave the safety of the Cape Colony and follow. Leon is convinced that his parents are without honour and courage. Little does he realise that he has no chance of escaping the people they used to be.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo families torn apart, caught up in a battle for the heart of a country at war with itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA NEW BOOK IN THE LONG-RUNNING EPIC HISTORICAL SAGA OF THE COURTNEY FAMILY FROM WILBUR SMITH IN WHICH THE COURTNEYS AND THE BALLANTYNES COME TOGETHER ONCE AGAIN IN THE SEQUEL TO WORLDWIDE BESTSELLERS THE TRIUMPH OF THE SUN AND KING OF KINGS.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReaders are loving FIRE ON THE HORIZON:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e'Gripping, thrilling and heartwarming'\u003cb\u003e ***** \u003c\/b\u003eReader review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Great book, hard to put down' ***** Reader review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Nobody knew the history of Africa like Wilbur did' ***** Reader review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Absolutely brilliant from beginning to end with a nice twist' ***** Reader review\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55599731278198,"sku":"9781838776886","price":7.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_36483994.jpg?v=1760192266"},{"product_id":"9781785128646-river-god-the-egyptian-series-1","title":"River God","description":"\u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Egyptian Series 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA SPECIAL COLLECTOR'S EDITION OF THE FIRST BOOK IN WILBUR SMITH'S CELEBRATED EGYPTIAN SERIES.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e WITH MATERIAL INCLUDED FROM THE AUTHOR'S ARCHIVES AND A BRAND-NEW INTRODUCTION FROM EGYPTOLOGIST PROFESSOR JOANN FLETCHER.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAn ancient kingdom.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA SPECIAL COLLECTOR'S EDITION OF THE FIRST BOOK IN WILBUR SMITH'S CELEBRATED EGYPTIAN SERIES.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e WITH MATERIAL INCLUDED FROM THE AUTHOR'S ARCHIVES AND A BRAND-NEW INTRODUCTION FROM EGYPTOLOGIST PROFESSOR JOANN FLETCHER.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAn ancient kingdom.
