In Congo, the Belgians have just left and the country is in upheaval. In the midst of all the fighting, mercenary captain Bruice Curry is in charge of rescuing a group of whites from a remote village in the path of General Moses and his band of terrorists. To get there, and back again, is going to take a lot of courage, and a lot of sacrifice... ( ) The Dark of The Sun – Wilbur Smith **** ½ Set in Africa during the Congo crisis Bruce Curry is given the mission of liberating a towns citizens (and the diamonds) from the marauding rebels. There are only him and 3 other white men with him, a disgraced alcoholic doctor, a repressed homosexual and the ever bullying Wally Hendry. They have to lead a small mercenary band on this mission encountering bloodshed at every turn. A page-turner of a novel with some very nice gory touches which include torture and cannibalism. A few parts were a bit too slushy for me… (Why do they always fall in love after about 6 hours…?) but a very good read all the same. I especially like the way Smith shares the characters thoughts as well as what they say. Will definitely be seeking out more works by this author. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

From the master storyteller and number one bestseller comes another thundering good readThe bend in the road rushed towards them, just a few more seconds. Then, with a succession of jarring crashes that shook the whole body of the car, a burst of fire hit them from behind. The windscreen starred into a sheet of opaque diamond lacework, the dashboard clock exploded powdering Shermaine's hair with particles of glass, two bullets tore through the seat ripping out the stuffing like the entrails of a wounded animal.' Bruce Curry is the leader of a mercenary band with the dubious support of three white officers. His mission is to relieve a mining town cut off by the fighting and to retrieve a priceless consignment of diamonds. Ranged against his ill-disciplined unit are bandits, guerrillas and hostile tribes that infest the land. But there is another, even deadlier enemy - one of his own men . . .
