BLUE HORIZON

One of the world's premier novelists continues his African adventure series with the eleventh volume chronicling the brave and lusty Courtney clan. Narrating with gifted aplomb, John Lee colors the extraordinary territory. He makes real the heart-stopping rescue at sea of an innocent, beautiful girl, which places young Jim Courtney in the path of both love and revenge. As Smith's story is epic in scope, expect to spend a long while with these loving and likable characters. Scenes of derring-do mesh well with wild animal attacks and a sweet and tender love story as Jim and his tiny troop travel the legendary "robbers' road" in search of the blue horizon. R.O.
