Publisher's Summary

Following on from the events begun in A Falcon Flies, Men of Men continues Wilbur Smith's epic story of the Ballantynes.  

It is the age of empire, of blood and conquest, of boundless excitement and possibility. Striding in the footsteps of the pioneers is Zouga Ballantyne. His dream begins in the danger and drudgery of the diamond pits and ends up on the rich grasslands of Matabeleland - but not before a king and a proud warrior nation have paid the price of history.... 

Men of Men is followed by The Angels Weep and The Leopard Hunts in the Darkness.

    Grand tale of the birth of Rhodesia

    In his wonderful style which describes the geography, the flora & African wildlife…. Wilbur Smith weaves the brutal and often misunderstood history of Southern Africa, the noble Matabele nation, the early hunters and diamond pioneers, the battles and greed of power, politics and Cecil John Rhodes with the family fame, fortune, disaster and life of the early Ballantine’s….

    A lovely tale of betrayal, lust, hate, love, loyalty, friendship and drama, peppered with action packed hunting, war and African spirituality…..
