Wilbur Smith

10 Series

Wilbur Smith was an Anglo-African novelist known for his historical adventure novels set in Africa. Born in what is now Zambia, he authored three renowned series: the Courtney Family, the Ballantyne Family, and the Egyptian series. Despite residing in London, his work reflects a deep passion for his native continent.

Wilbur Smith's "Wild Justice," also known as "The Delta Decision" in the USA, follows the gripping tale of a terrorist hijacking and the ensuing battle for justice. In "Predator," co-authored with Tom Cain, a former SAS operative seeks vengeance against those who wronged him. The Jack Courtney series, co-authored with Christopher Wakling, chronicles the adventures of a daring protagonist across various historical settings. "Call of the Raven," written with Corban Addison, explores the dark underbelly of the slave trade and one man's quest for freedom. Each narrative showcases Smith's signature blend of action, intrigue, and historical detail.
