    Not Bad
  

*by P***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 1, 2013*

I was expecting to dislike the book after reading the negative review and knowing it was ghost written.  After a rough start with some clumsy/corny dialogue with Hector and Hazel it settled down to be a good read, although the dialogue with Jo later in the book was equally off.  Its actually a sequel of a book I didn't actually care for despite the fact it was written by Wilbur Smith.  That said, it was interesting enough that I finished it in 2 days despite the World Series and a large earthquake to distract me.The graphic violence and sex, including child sex and incest may disturb some, but I thought it stopped short of crossing the line and being too much.One other small complaint, Hector does not pass protect his iphone, despite going to great lengths to sanitize it?  Really???  I mean, even if it can be sanitized at a moment in time, a subsequent email, text or voice mail might contain sensitive information and it can be used in other ways to cause trouble.*****************Spoiler Alert********************Didn't care for the ending battle scene at the castle.  Unbelievable to put those under your command at risk by passing up a kill shot at the intended target (Carl) simply to satisfy a personal desire to look into his eyes, and tying up resources during a battle to carry the 300+ lb wounded Johnny Congo to the plane simply to have the satisfaction of throwing him out of the plane later.  Destroying the evidence of Carl's death by feeding him alive and wounded to the crocs, knowing the body was needed to land your daughter 50 billion from the trust and then handing over Johnny Congo to the FBI at Jo's insistence, only to have him escape a 2nd time without Carl around to finance and plan the escape is unbelievable as well.  Entertaining though.I still will buy the next ghost written book despite the nitpicking.  Too much to expect Wilbur Smith to turn out books like he used to at his age without help.  Definitely in the top 5 of my favorite authors over the past 50 years, and this is a good start for ghost written series of books.

This book was obviously the middle book in what was to be Wilbur Smith's trilogy about Hector Cross. Sadly, he died before he could finish the third book unless there  are notes enough to finish it with the help of his writing partner.I take offense at the timid people who were offended by the content of this book. Who did they think Hector Cross was dealing with?If they saw the movie "Captain Phillips" they got only a timid glimpse of these animals who prey on people when human life has no meaning. Of course, the central character has to fight back with everything at his disposal and more after what they did to him and his loved ones. What did you expect? Then to end the book the way it does, it begs for the third book so Hector can finally get even withthis monster who escaped from prison and protect those whom he loves and end it all for good. That would be great and would be typical of the great Wilbur Smith.

*by A***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 19, 2013*

Good, ( not great) fast paced action adventure story. The main problem with the story is that everything in the plot falls into place to easily and at times seems really far fetched. The story continues on from Wilbur Smith's last book - Those in Peril -These last two books are not in any way as good as the authors earlier books on Africa. His character Henry Cross is not in the same league as the Courtneys or the Ballantyne's, nor is the plot even remotely as good and as adventurous as the Wilbur Smith's African adventure novels of his earlier days.It is difficult to write a review of the actual story as it all hinges around the results that occur very early in the book and to reveal this will ruin the story for other readers. Suffice it to say the story hinges around a locate a terminate with extreme prejudice, an unknown killer.The sad thing about the end is that Wilbur Smith allows himself an out, in that he ends with a reason to continue the series with at least one more book. So in the near future he does not plan to write (one assumes) more historical African Adventure stories.
