War Cry
by Wilbur Smith
The next gripping Courtney family adventure from perennial
bestseller and fan favourite Wilbur Smith.
In a triumphant return to his much-loved Courtney series, Wilbur
Smith introduces us to the bravest new member of the famed
family, Saffron Courtney.
Saffron grows up on a sprawling Kenyan estate, under the watchful
eye of her father, prominent businessman and distinguished war
veteran Leon Courtney. Her childhood is idyllic, until a family tragedy forces
her to grow up much faster than necessary. As she grows into a spirited teenager,
her thirst for knowledge and adventures leads her to England, where she finds
herself inevitably drawn into the heart of the gathering storm in the lead-up to World
War II.
Gerhard von Meerbach is the privileged and idealistic younger brother of Konrad
von Meerbach, heir to an industrial fortune, and vocal supporter of the Nazi Party.
Gerhard struggles to stay true to his principles in an increasingly cruel world. His
friendship with a Jewish man places him in danger, and forces him to take a
stand against the forces of evil that have overtaken his country and his family. But,
unknown to him, he is caught in a trap that could cost him everything he holds dear.
As the Second World War looms over them all, Saffron and Gerhard’s worlds collide
– but will there be more to unite them than tear them apart?
A love story in the time of heroes, War Cry is the latest breathtaking episode in
Wilbur Smith’s epic account of one beloved family.
Breaking Ranks
by James McNeish
Three distinct stories about three distinct men, but with one thing in common - they
all paid the price for standing up for what they believed.
From a great writer, three great stories about conscience and consequence. This
is the story of three men - a doctor, a soldier and a judge. They are men of rare
achievement. The doctor has the gift of saving others but not himself. The soldier
disobeys orders and abandons his command post in a bid to die with his men. The
judge cares more to uphold a principle than save himself from ruin. All three defy
convention in a way that exacts a price. The first two, Dr John Saxby and Brigadier
Reginald Miles, destroy themselves. The death of the judge, Peter Mahon, is
hastened by his stand for truth and justice on behalf of the victims of New Zealand’s
worst air disaster. “New Zealand seems to have the knack of neutralising those who
try to foist moral greatness on their countrymen,” James McNeish writes. In Breaking
Ranks, the author celebrates three brave men whose guiding spirit - subversion?
anarchy? - challenges our assumptions of what it is to be a good New Zealander.
