In search of a father they barely remember, Zouga and Dr Robyn Ballantyne board Mungo St John's magnificent clipper to speed them to Africa. But long before they sight that mighty continent, Robyn knows that she and Mungo will battle with all the fury of natural enemies - and love with all the desperation of those unable to evade the commands of fate. For if she can bring hope and healing to Africa's fever-ridden shores, he, a lawless trader in human cargo, will possess any man - or woman - he chooses....

Compelling story.
I realized I read this book years ago, long enough that I couldn’t recall the story line, so the book was just as an enjoyable read as the first. The way Smith describes encounters in the book leads you to feeling immersed in the story and needing to keep listening till the end. Will definitely read the next in the series.

A fantastic beginning to the Ballantyne saga!!
A full-blooded book that tracks the story in Africa of the Ballantynes ending with Craig Mellow in The Leopard Hunts in Darkness. A thrilling tale completely out of odds with 21st century ‘woke’ culture. Not for the faint-hearted.
