From the Back Cover
For readers of Game of Thrones, Ken Follett, and Clive Cussler: an epic adventure spanning land and sea . . . time and distance . . . courage, revenge, and everything in between.
He saw his father executed in battle. He spent his youth avenging that death. And now Henry “Hal” Courtney is a man with a ship, and a family, of his own.
But fate has not finished with Hal. On a voyage along the eastern shore of Africa, a powerful enemy abducts his wife, the fearless warrior Judith . . . and with her, Hal’s unborn child. For Hal, a man all too familiar with loss, there is only one way forward: He must track his nemesis across desert and ocean, through the slave markets of Zanzibar and the dangerous waters of the coast, in pursuit of the woman he loves, the child he sired, and the glorious destiny that awaits him.
Bursting with action and suspense, heroism and heartache, this unforgettable novel proves once more that Wilbur Smith is the world’s greatest adventure writer.

After having enjoyed all the previous books from the Courtney series, the Golden Lion was a great deception, it doesn’t feel like a book written by Wilbur Smith.
I must say I was disappointed by the book. I am a great fan of Wilbur Smith’s books (with the exception of The Quest that I was not able to finish) but this book is not in the same class as his other books (maybe because it was not actually written by Mr. Smith?). Compared to his standard the book is surprisingly actionless, void of suspension and consists mostly of tediously long dialogues. The first half of the book is especially slow and boring, the second half is more action-packed as are some of Smith’s earlier books, but on the whole not much happens in the entire book. I was unable to put some of his previous books down and finished them in a matter of hours but with this one I was actually forcing myself to get to the end.
Being an avid reader of WS for forty years I can only say that this is not one of his best. A sad disappointment.
