This is a brilliant book that affected me on every level. Read this and you step on to a rollercoaster of emotions that throws up many surprises and yet is always believable. Despite some extreme violence, Smith writes with compassion but without excessive sentimentality, and the action is thrilling. Here he is in total command of his story. Yes, one of my top ten books ever.

Glad to see that this book moved others as much as it did me. I had just returned from living and working, briefly, in Tel Aviv when I found and read this. We drank many a Goldstar beer while there and the mention of that in the book brought a smile to my face. Mr. Smith's description of that beautiful land was right on target. Anyone with a soul will love this story...

David and Deborah meet and fall in love. She invites him to her home in Irael. There the adventure of their lives begin. Through triumph, tragedy and... well read the best book ever written. You will not be disappointed. In fact you will not be able to put the book down once you have picked it up. And when you have have finished you will wish it could have lasted longer.

This book will keep you turning paga after page. It is the love and adventure story of David and Debora. Tragedy befalls both of them and how or if they get back together is the story. If you ever have the chance to get this book, do so and keep it. In fact buy two and give one to a close friend. They will thank you for sharing a truly great book.

I read the book when I was 15 and I am 35 now. In retrospect, it is the best book I have ever read. A word of caution: read the last page carefully.

I've read all 27 of Wilbur Smith's books -- looking back I have to say that this one is the best. It's not the funniest, most interesting, or most exciting of his books, but it certainly made the biggest impact on me. Just thinking about the book (and it's been a long while since I've read it) sends a wave of emotion over me.

couldnt put it down. you could see it coming and still had to read it to believe. it makes the greek tragedies look like a bed time story...

David and Deborah find love, adventure and horror but you won't want to put the book down once you have picked it up. The ending will suprise you. You will be glad to have spent the time

the wave of emotion you experience was emmence. I have read about 7 of wilbur smith's books and this is my favorite to date. the discriptive details he writes with, made me break down into tears several times. It is a rollercoaster of emotion and lets you really appreciate life and what we have. It is a very graphic, bitter sweet book. David and Debra, Joe and poor Hanna I will never forget, neither will you after reading this book.

A fun fast read but not up to the Wilbur Smith standard. Of the 18 of 31 of his novels that I have read this was my least favorite.
