Narrator Kirill Radtsig

Wilbur Smith’s books set in South Africa in the late 19th century are real adventure novels that form a powerful family saga. Gold fever, harsh everyday life, wild nature, war, love, and death—this saga of the Courtney family is a thick, juicy read you can dive into with pleasure, forgetting everything else.

The first books of the saga are devoted to the fate of the twin brothers Sean and Garrick. As a result of an unfortunate childhood accident, Garrick lost a leg, and Sean suffers from guilt and tries to protect his brother. They grow up, fight the Zulus, fall in love and marry—but along their life path, many tragedies lie in wait. Will the brothers manage to get rich by mining gold, and what fate will befall their children?
