Just finished "Power of the Sword" by Wilbur Smith, the 5th book (or, to be more strictly correct, the 2nd book in the 2nd trilogy) in the "Courtney" saga. The 5th book ended with Centaine Courtney discovering an area of rich diamond deposits in South Africa shortly after the end of the First World War, and this next book moves forward into the 1930s, with the growing threat of Nazi Germany. As always, an excellent African adventure with strong characters and interesting characters. Recommended.
