A FALCON FLIES

Wilbur Smith returns to his adventurous roots in Falcon Flies, introducing the Ballantyne family and setting the stage for decades of colonial-era escapades. Born of tragedy and driven by blood-feud, the characters span across Africa and the Indian Ocean. The novel blends exploration, warfare, romance and survival in a richly textured historic tapestry. Readers travel with the characters through rugged terrain, shifting allegiances, and the dawn of a changing colonial world. Epic in scope yet intimate in its character motivations, the story launches a saga of family, empire and legacy.
