A Sparrow Falls
Wilbur Smith
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2007
Tumultuous adventure in Africa
A Sparrow Falls is the third of Wilbur Smith's books I've read in the Courtney family series. Each has its own flavor; each one is delightful and hard to put down, but A Sparrow Falls was a real demonstration of a powerful writer taking his readers on a turbulent, ...

Very memorable book
I read this book several years ago, yet it stands out vividly in my mind. I feel that I will always remember the outline of this compelling and adventuresome story unlike the vast majority of routine novels that I have read.
If you like the sound of an African ...

Birds of Prey (Courtney Family Adventures)
Wilbur Smith
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 1998
great swashbucking fun
What a treat for me. I had never before read a "swashbuckling" adventure story. Despite not understanding anything about ships and sailing(lots of the language was foreign to me) I was totally engrossed and caught up in the universal themes of strong family and ...

The Quest
Wilbur Smith
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2008
Great Fantasy book; light on historical fiction
I saw someone else's review mention the crux of what you need to know here, that is unlike River God this book is far more fantasy (magic, etc...) than historical fiction. If you can handle that fact then you are in for a great ride. I couldn't put the book down and ...

The Sound of Thunder
Wilbur Smith
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2007
Simply the best
I read a lot and came across Wilbur Smith when my next door neighbor kept speaking of him. My ideas of African adventure were far removed from what Smith writes about. If you like DeMille, Flynn, Shaara, and the like you will love Smith. The back cover of his books ...

Rage
Wilbur Smith
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2007
Rage
Wilbur Smith never fails to capture me with his writings. Rage is a wonderful depiction of a whole different world in South Africa. While he changes a few details it is still a very good indication of a life that many Americans do not understand. While entertaining ...

The Angels Weep
Wilbur Smith
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2006
Not for the faint of heart
I think this book is one of Wilbur Smith's best books. It tells the history of the struggle between the blacks and whites in present-day Zimbabwe. This book probably has more violence and bloodshed than any book I've ever read. However, it tells an important story ...

Excellent for third year clinical rotations.
I bought this book during first year of medical school but didn't appreciate its quality until 3rd and 4th year (the clinical years). Concise text with many, many high-quality radiographs and studies. Covers the basics of diagnostic imaging and then moves to areas of ...
