KING OF KINGS

Smith, Wilbur A.

Εκδότης Zaffre , ISBN 9781785768460

An epic story of love, betrayal, courage and war that brings together two of Wilbur Smith's greatest families in this long-awaited sequel to his worldwide bestseller, The Triumph of the Sun. Cairo, 1887. A beautiful September day.

Penrod Ballantyne and his fiancee, Amber Benbrook, stroll hand in hand. The future is theirs for the taking. But when Penrod's jealous former lover, Lady Agatha, plants doubt about his character, Amber leaves him and travels to the wilds of Abyssinia with her twin sister, Saffron, and her adventurer husband, Ryder Courtney.

On a mission to establish a silver mine, they make the dangerous journey to the new capital of Addis Ababa, where they are welcomed by Menelik, the King of Kings. Back in Cairo, a devastated Penrod seeks oblivion in the city's opium dens. He is rescued by an old friend, who is now in the Italian army, and offered the chance to join the military efforts.

Italy has designs on Abyssinia, and there are rumours of a plan to invade . . .

With storm clouds gathering, and on opposing sides of the invasion, can Penrod and Amber find their way back to one another - against all the odds?

Συγγραφέας

Ο Γουίλμπουρ Σμιθ γεννήθηκε στην Κεντρική Αφρική το 1933. Σπούδασε στο Μάικλχαουζ και στο Πανεπιστήμιο Ρόουντς. Άρχισε να ασχολείται αποκλειστικά με τη συγγραφή το 1964, μετά την επιτυχία του βιβλίου του "Στα νύχια του λιονταριού", και από τότε έχει γράψει τριάντα ένα μυθιστορήματα, που έχουν πουλήσει πάνω από ογδόντα εκατομμύρια αντίτυπα, ενώ έχουν μεταφραστεί σε περισσότερες από τριάντα γλώσσες. Όλα τα έργα του έχουν εκδοθεί και στην Ελλάδα από τις εκδόσεις Bell με πολύ μεγάλη επιτυχία, ξεπερνώντας σε πωλήσεις τα πεντακόσιες χιλιάδες αντίτυπα. Ταξιδεύει πολύ, σε όλο τον κόσμο, αναζητώντας υλικό και διεξάγοντας έρευνες για τα βιβλία του. Ενδιαφέρεται βαθιά για τους λαούς και την άγρια φύση της Μαύρης Ηπείρου, πράγμα που αντανακλάται έντονα και στα έργα του. Wilbur Smith was born in Central Africa in 1933. He was educated at Michaelhouse and Rhodes University. He became a full-time writer in 1964 after the successful publication of When the Lion Feeds, and has since written over thirty novels, all meticulously researched on his numerous expeditions worldwide. In addition to his Egyptian novels, River God, The Seventh Scroll, Warlock and The Quest, his other titles include the successful The Courtneys and The Ballantynes series, Those in Peril and Vicious Circle, featuring security operative Hector Cross, and The Sunbird. His books are now translated into twenty-six languages.
