—Lexington Herald-Leader (KY)
“Compulsively readable … contains intrigue, romance, greed, cruelty, and furious action … rewarding and satisfying.”
—El Paso Herald-Post (TX)
“An epic … Smith joins the ranks of one of the grand masters of twentieth-century novels.”
—Tulsa World
“An epic novel of ancient Egypt, a great adventure with all the right ingredients: victories and defeats, secrets and revelations, life and death, reverence and godlessness, hate and love.”
—The Des Moines Register
“It’s clear Smith knows his subject: his graphic depiction of lust, bloodletting, politics, and, in Taita’s case, honor is firmly grounded in rich details that evoke the period.”
—Booklist
“[River God] gallops swiftly through the action and flying blood his fans have come to relish … Brightly colored, sweeping escapism.”
—Kirkus Reviews
MONSOON
“[Smith] paces his tale as swiftly as he can with swordplay aplenty and killing strokes that come like lightning out of a sunny blue sky.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Readers who love swashbucklers will enjoy this book.”
—Booklist
“[A] non-stop thriller that takes readers on a magical tour … this is what makes a Smith book worth reading.”
—Midwest Book Review
“Only a handful of 20th-century writers tantalize our senses as well as Smith … a rare author who wields a razor-sharp sword of craftsmanship.”
—Tulsa World
“A wild adventure … brought flawlessly to life through realistic sword fights and sea battles, vivid stories of pirates … breathtaking.”
—Times Record News
BIRDS OF PREY
“Smith’s novel is far more than your typical pirate script … A fascinating account … Smith deftly evokes not only the horrific but also the beautiful, particularly the lush landscape of Africa.”
—The Washington Post Book World
“As usual, Smith … peoples his tale with unforgettable characters … swashbuckling and sensuous, Birds of Prey is not for the faint-hearted. Its bloodiest scenes are vivid and detailed—and so are hero Hal’s romantic encounters. But, as with Smith’s previous two best-sellers, River God and The Seventh Scroll, this latest epic transcends the average actionadventure yarn.”
—The Orlando Sentinel
“Birds of Prey is a wonderful novel filled with excitement, pirates, and vivid sea battles … In short, it is vintage Wilbur Smith.”
—Times Record News (Wichita Falls, TX)
