  • Description and Reviews3

    a Book Depository customer "An explosive adventure-thriller set in 14th-century Africa, and in the 1970's bush war of Rhodesia-Zimbabwe. Powerful characters who shaped their worlds:
    The now-famous Zimbabwe Ruins recreated as a thriving city during the 1300s - Tcana, daughter of a cattleherd, wife of a prince, high priestess of a new religion that will rip apart the ancient city of Tsimbaboue.
    The Rhodesian Bush War in the 1970s: American TV journalist Rebecca Rawlings, caught up centuries later in the remnants of Tcana's faith and a violent war of attrition. Peter Kennedy, commander ofthe famed Selous Scouts. His friend and right-hand man, Kuru. And Kuru's brother, Mandhla, trained as a top flight freedom fighter by the Russians. In this gripping tale of love and retribution, Mandhla stalks the woman he sees as the key to his revenge, just as surely as Peter and Kuru stalk the man known only to them by his nom-de-guerre: the Mamba.
    An unusual book in that it attracts the same applause from both men and women.
    "I really loved this book! It should be a movie!!! Education for the Nation! Very well written and one cannot put it down. Congratulations!" - Christine Behrmann, independent reader.
    "The author's own intimate knowledge of Rhodesia makes this a powerful, fascinating read. The narrative is fast-paced and crisply told. The author writes with clarity and style. Above all, her novel melds many universal themes-love, hatred, religion, fear and rebellion-into one insightful, compulsive narrative." - BookWire, www.bookwire.com (for original version: "Crest of Eagles")
    "The author interweaves multiple, strong, leading characters and two completely different time frames masterfully. (Dance of Eagles) reminds me of some of the great works of Wilbur Smith. This book certainly ranks with some of the best that I have reviewed to date... Romance, adventure, suspense, ancient tribal history and modern day action-this book has it all!" - Lillian Brummet, www.bookideas.com (for original version: "Crest of Eagles")
    "... offers great insight into the hearts of people on all sides of the Rhodesian war. I especially liked the historical aspect and portrayal of the ancient city. Tcana's story is poignant, and the author pulls no punches. The characters are finely drawn and the story becomes compulsive reading." - Lucy McCarraher, Blood & Water, The Book of Balanced Living www.lucymccarraher.com
