War Cry audiobook

This was a great book. I will give a full review at a later date.Enjoy and Be Blessed.

Well I have finished reading "War cry" and all I can say is "Wow! The master seems to be back!". I found it much better written than his previous recent books. I get the feeling he had much more of a hand in writting the story and adding the final Wilbur touches like only he can. The story itself I found well written and thought out. It is basically a big introduction to Saffron Courteney and quite a long build up to what promises to be a great sequel book that will be following "War cry". I found it entertaining and it was a good page turner. Can't wait for the sequel as it ends on quite a bit of a cliff hanger! Really a good read in my opinion.

The saga continued effectively with this one although there were some clunky scenes overall enjoyable.

Not quite the same as I remember from my youth, but still great to get back to the Courtneys.

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway and was pleased to discover a new author. Much of this book is set in Kenya on the eve of the second world war and this unfamiliar background added greatly to my enjoyment.I will certainly look out for other books in the series.

This was an enjoyable adventure book with a lot of great historical info on the 1930's and WWII as a backdrop. Sometimes the characters can be a little too annoyingly perfect, but they are well drawn and their adventures hold one's interest.

Ennesimo capolavoro di Wilbur Smith incentrato sulla saga dei Courteney... adesso scritto (molto probabilmente per la sua età ormai avanzata) a quattro mani con David Churchill. Come sempre succede nelle opere dello scrittore sudafricano, l'avventura ed i bellissimi paesaggi del continente nero la fanno da padrone... ma questa volta conosceremo anche gli orrori della Seconda guerra mondiale.Nel volume n. 16 della saga dei Courteney (e terzo del ciclo dei "Courteney-Ballantyne"), protagonista assoluta è la giovanissima Saffron Courteney: dopo essere cresciuta pacificamente in Kenia a contatto con la natura e con le tribù locali, si ritrova catapultata al centro dell'azione della guerra ma avrà lo stesso il tempo di conoscere l'Amore con la A maiuscola, l'onore, il coraggio e, purtroppo, anche il tradimento (soprattutto in seno alla sua stessa famiglia) e, come detto prima, gli orrori del secondo conflitto mondiale. E tutto lascia presagire che "Grido di guerra"avrà un seguito...[https://rosatoeu.blogspot.com/2018/09...]

Great novel. There may be a little too much sex in this novel especially when you expect adventure and action. Smith plays his characters like a chess game and then slowly move them into checkmate for the finally. Strong characters and really a entertaining read if you need something easy to read.

good old wilbur smith ...no wonder he has been a successful writer

Wonderfully Wilbur Smith.If you know nothing about the Courtney family, no worries, you'll get into the rhythm just as quickly as you'll turn each page.

After a long time, Wilbur Smith seems to be back in his elements. The towering allure of African life and its landscapes, the trails and tribulations of the Masai and Courtneys all come to life once again... Though in the middle it stretches a bit and takes on some frivolous undertones, it does come back to an intriguing finale and the promise of more to come. This is the journey of Leon and his daughter Saffron Courtney from pre World War II times to its peak. Now can't wait for its sequel!

This is book 15 in he Courtney series and it'sa historical novel which I usually don't read and ended like it's to be continued which I alsodon't care for but this one's a pretty decent story and I gave it a 4.
