Every couple of years Wilbur Smith sweeps me to land I have never seen and makes me feel like a native with the release of a new novel.
Monsoon is no exception.
The story begins about 25 years after Birds of Prey leaves off. An older, more civilized Hal Courtney introduces us to his four sons. William, Black Billy to the other siblings, is the bully of the brood. Those of you familiar with Wilbur Smith s Courtney series will immediately notice many of his classic themes. William torments the boys just as Dirk bullied Storm in The Roar of Thunder .
