Book description
'I scrambled onto my knees, pushing the automatic rifle forward to
cover one flank. In that instant they opened on us. The air around me
was torn by the sound of a thousand bull whips, while the gunfire
sounded like a stick dragged swiftly across a corrugated-iron fence.' A
hazy aerial photograph and a sinister curse are the only clues Dr Ben
Kazin has before he stumbles on the archaeological discovery of a
lifetime. Beneath the red cliffs of Botswanaland a magnificent unknown
civilization has remained buried for millenna. But the magic of
uncovering a lost culture is harshly interrupted by the violence of
terrorists, love, intrigue and the breathtaking secrets of centries...
Wilbur Smith was born in Central Africa in 1933. He was educated at

on his numerous expeditions worldwide. His books are now translated
