The Sound Of Thunder – Wilbur Smith

Posted on January 22nd, 2010 by Jarvis in Fiction

Author Wilbur Smith’s stories of the Courtneys are among his most powerful. An epic of the Anglo-Boer War in Africa,  The Sound of Thunder,  packed with movement and life,  brilliantly evokes the hazardous world of the pioneers who founded a nation.

‘Only once in his life had Sean met a man whose strength matched his own and now again they were pitted against each other. He drove the heel of his right hand up under Jan Paulus’s chin, forcing his head back against the encircling left arm. It should have broken his neck. Instead he locked his arms around Sean’s chest below the level of his armpits and squeezed. Within seconds Sean felt his face swelling and congesting with blood, his mouth opened and his tongue came out between his teeth.’
