"The Courtneys of Africa series" from the worldwide bestselling master storyteller. This boxset includes: "When the Lion Feeds" - It is the 1870s and twin brothers Sean and Garrick Courtney are born in the wilds of Natal. They couldn't be more different and fate, war and the jealous schemes of a woman are to drive them further apart; and, "The Sound of Thunder" - Sean Courtney returns from the wilderness a rich man until he is robbed by the Boers. A grim homecoming finds his country in the cruel grip of war but conflicts within his family will prove far more bitter than any fought on the veld. It also includes: "A Sparrow Falls" - From the trenches of France, General Sean Courtney comes back to fame fortune and a seat in government. Mark Anders, the courageous young South Africa whom he has come to regard as a son, returns to his grandfather murdered and his property seized by an unknown company. At the bottom of the mystery is Sean's son Dirk, whose all-consuming hatred can only end in blood; and, "Assegai" - It is 1913 and Leon Courtney is in British East Africa, guiding rich and powerful men on safaris in the Masai tribal territories.
He stumbles on a plot against the British involving the disenchanted survivors of the Boer War.
