'That time is upon us. I can feel it coming. That evil barbarian
will not be satisfied until he has engulfed the whole world in war
and death. I fear for us all.' In a triumphant return to his
much-loved Courtney series, Wilbur Smith introduces us to the
bravest new member of the famed family, Saffron Courtney. Saffron
grows up on a sprawling Kenyan estate, under the watchful eye of
her father, prominent businessman and distinguished war veteran
Leon Courtney. Her childhood is idyllic, until a family tragedy
forces her to grow up much faster than necessary. As she grows into
a spirited teenager, her thirst for knowledge and adventure leads
her to England, where she finds herself inevitably drawn into the
heart of the gathering storm in the lead up to World War II.
Gerhard von Meerbach is the privileged and idealistic younger
brother of Konrad von Meerbach, heir to an industrial fortune, and
vocal supporter of the Nazi Party. Gerhard struggles to stay true
to his principles in an increasingly cruel world. His friendship
with a Jewish man places him in danger, and forces him to take a
stand against the forces of evil that have overtaken his country
and his family. But, unknown to him, he is caught in a trap that
could cost him everything he holds dear. As the Second World War
looms over them all, Saffron and Gerhard's worlds will collide -
but will there be more to unite them than tear them apart? A love
story in the time of heroes, War Cry is the latest breath-taking
episode in Wilbur Smith's epic account of one beloved family.
