Ilustration Toward Books Monsoon (Courtney #10)

Monsoon, a Courtney Family Adventure from Wilbur Smith One man. Three sons. A powerful destiny waiting to unfold. Monsoon is the sweeping epic that continues the saga begun in Wilbur Smith's bestselling Birds of Prey. Once a voracious adventurer, it has been many years since Hal Courtney has dared the high seas. Now he must return with three of his sons - Tom, Dorian, and Guy - to protect the East India Trading Company from looting pirates, in exchange for half of the fortune he recovers. It will be a death or glory mission in the name of the crown. But Hal must also think about the fates of his sons. Like their father before them, Tom, Dorian, and Guy are drawn inexorably to Africa. When fate decrees that they must all leave England forever, they set said for the dark, unexplored continent, seduced by the allure and mystery of this new, magnificent, but savage land. All will have a crucial part to play in shaping the Courtneys' destiny, as the family vies for a prize beyond any of their dreams. In a story of anger and passion, peace and war, Wilbur Smith evinces himself at the height of his storytelling powers. Set at the dawn of eighteenth-century England, with the Courtneys riding wind-tossed seas toward Arabia and Africa, Monsoon is an exhilarating adventure pitting brother against brother, man against sea, and good against evil.

Evaluate About Books Monsoon (Courtney #10)

I seldom read the type of book referred to as a guilty pleasure. Its not because Im some beret-wearing, croissant-eating, Proust-reading snob. (The fact that I wear berets and eat croissants is coincidental). To the contrary, Im as comfortable as the next person wallowing in the gutter drinking Yellow Tail chardonnay and reading Ken Follett. Its just that the books I use to escape are conceptually different. When Ive had a long day at work, I like to read big fat histories on World War I or the

Another epic tale from Smith! This is the followup novel to Birds of Prey which I read a couple of years ago. It is also the second chronologically in the Courtney's of Africa saga by Smith. I really enjoyed this swashbuckling story of Hal Courtney, the hero of Birds of Prey, and his progeny. This novel takes place in the 1690's...about thirty years after the end of Prey. Hal Courtney is called by the king to rid the African east coast of a deadly Arab pirate who has captured several English

There is no doubt that I am an avid fan of Wilbur Smith. This book follows the Birds of Prey which was really a great read! From there, this book picks up with Hal Courtney and his adventures. It starts with his four sons by three wives, all of whom are deceased so we never meet them. Oldest son by one wife, twins by the second wife, and the youngest one by the third wife. The sons interactions, ambitions, personalities and relationships with each other are an added bonus to the rest of the

Familiar SagaVery much a common theme with Wilbur. It was obvious from the start where this one was going... Always a beautiful woman along with a reason they could never be together...Some how there was never any doubt how this one would end up. A little to formula and kind of a polyanna approach . I like a litt!e mo



Wow!!!

Wilbur Smith fascinates me. His knowledge of the African continent and affinity with the sea help bring his stories to life. He's graphic in his descriptions; so if you have a faint heart, you might not want to read the often gory and brutal details that often accompany his tales. On the other hand, his explicit renderings of pillaging, raping, and mutilating that unfold in the majority of his books are filled with details and insights that make his imagery captivating.He also weaves a full tale
