On Leopard Rock. A life of adventures. Wilbur Smith
On Leopard Rock. A life of adventures . Wilbur Smith. 2018. ISBN 9781499861280. You can get lost in a Wilbur Smith adventure. Full of swagger, adventure, lusty men and women, political intrigues and wildlife with the backdrop of Africa always there. I have read my way through the The Courteney Series (16), The Ballantyne Series (5), The Egyptian Series ( 6), Hector Cross (3), and his standalones (11). So it makes sense to read this, his autobiography. An early editor told him write what you know. Over 50 years, Smith writes what he and his several generations of family have lived through and done growing up from early African colonization , the Boer War, WW1 and 2, Ian Smiths’s Rhodesia, Apartheid and Mandala, and now present day Africa. He does painstaking research on all his stories and weaves in great backstories and histories. He loves books and what they do for his readers. And he has been wildly successful , yet he still continues to write. This is very enjoyable and gives you even more background into his stories.
