A Time to Die

Part of the 'Courtney' series

From the master of epic storytelling comes one of his greatest adventures yet – a towering novel of high suspense, breathtaking action and stirring romance.

Set against the majesty of the African landscape, its great plains, swamplands, forests and mountains, A Time to Die is a story of courage and friendship, the thrill of the hunt, the savagery of war and the saving power of love.

Sean Courtney, professional hunter and veteran guerrilla fighter, is swept up in the savage tides of a new war. Caught between two rival armies, between his love for the beautiful woman at his side and his instincts as a trained fighter, Sean Courtney finds himself the captive of a brutal enemy from his past.

In the ordeal of danger and endurance that is to follow, Sean Courtney is thrust once more into the front line of bloody battle, every nerve and sinew tested to the limit as hunter becomes the hunted in a wilderness ravaged by war.

A Time to Die is spellbinding entertainment, sweeping the reader from the great hunting grounds of Zimbabwe to the fierce heat of the Zambezi valley and the scorched wastelands of Mozambique.

Excitement, stunning location and sheer narrative power are combined in a novel that vibrates with the author's deep feeling for the heartbeat of the African wild.
