Summary
A cocktail of Ken Follet, Wilbur Smith & Jeffrey Archer, this series is a perfect fit for historical fiction fans, a fascinating journey that will keep you glued to the final minute.
In 1887, Sebastian Brigandshaw is exiled from England by his abusive father, leaving behind his childhood sweetheart, Emily…
Disembarking from a ship, he meets a Boer hunter, Tinus, who takes him under his wing to build a new life in southern Africa.
After several months, with the direction of his new friend, Sebastian begins to enjoy himself, deciding to settle in this unknown land.
However, not long after, he learns of a heart-twisting secret about his lost love and decides to travel back to England. A shocking truth that will change everything.

Good Africa story
While being a fun story it falls quite well short of Wilbur Smith...and I found the narration a little irritating as there was little definition between chapters

Gripping story line
This is a story about the Boers and the British at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, an era that I have not read much about. At first the narrator annoyed me but I soon got used to his way of speaking and became engrossed in the book
The big problem is that this is book 1 of the Brigandshaw chronicles so one would expect Audible to have the next book and indeed all the books in the series but frustratingly although the other books exist they are not included in Audible. Why start a series and then leave listeners hanging?

A wonderful story of the complexities of Africa
If you like Wilbur Smith you will love Peter Rimmer's stories. Written with love and understanding of the African bush and all its Peoples. Hooked into the plot and characters within the first 10 minutes of listening. m narrator needs to work on his Afrikaans accent and pronounciation of Afrikaans names, but that can be easily overlooked by the gripping saga.

Very accurate storytelling of founding of Rhodesia
As I grew up in Rhodesia and lived and worked in South Africa I found this book to be so accurate both in the Fauna and historical descriptions. The Afrikaaners/Boers came to life as I know them so well. The native people were real and creditable. Many authors often lack in their characteristions in SA contexts. This book is a welcome exception. However, the narration was let down by poor pronounciations of place names and Afrikaans words which grated somewhat.

Not bad
I got lost a couple of times but kept with it to the end. I enjoyed it enough to finish it but not enough to get the next book in the series.
