Puntuale come un orologio svizzero.
Wilbur Smith torna in libreria nel 2009 con il suo nuovo romanzo, mantenendo così la media che lo vede in libreria con un nuovo lavoro ogni due anni.
Eccovi la trama presa dal sito ufficiale:
My next novel, Assegai, will be published in April 2009.
In 1913 Leon Courtney, an ex-soldier turned professional hunter in British East Africa, guides rich and powerful men from America and Europe on big game safaris in the territories of the Masai tribe. Leon has developed a special relationship with the Masai.
One of Leon's clients is Count Otto Von Meerbach, a German industrialist whose company builds aircraft and vehicles for the Kaiser's burgeoning army. Leon is recruited by his uncle Penrod Ballantyne (from The Triumph of the Sun) who is commander of the British forces in East Africa to gather information from Von Meerbach. Instead Leon falls desperately in love with Von Meerbach's beautiful and enigmatic mistress, Eva Von Wellberg.
Just prior to the outbreak of World War I Leon stumbles on a plot by Count Von Meerbach to raise a rebellion against Britain on the side of Germany amongst the disenchanted survivors of the Boer War in South Africa. He finds himself left alone to frustrate Von Meerbach's design. Then Eva Von Wellberg returns to Africa with her master and Leon finds out who and what she really is behind the mask...
Appena ho un attimo di tipo aggiorno anche il primo messaggio della discussione inserendo i nuovi titoli.
Dopo la grande delusione del 2007... speriamo bene...
