Summary
Shasa closed his mouth slowly. The very foundations of his political beliefs and principles were shaken and the walls cracked through. They had led him up into a high place and shown him the prize that was his for the taking.
The future of a country. The end of a family.
Shasa Courtney, heir to the Courtney fortunes, dreams only of uniting his divided, beloved country. Against all his principles, he allows his half brother Manfred to persuade him to join South Africa's right-wing National Party, hoping to moderate from within their dangerous policies of apartheid.
But Shasa's wife is working against everything he's working for while Manfred has deadly secrets he cannot afford to be revealed, either to his family or the public who are on the brink of war. In the terrible struggle for the future of South Africa, the Courtney family will be torn apart - and many will have to pay a terrible price....
A Courtney Series adventure - book 3 in the Burning Shore sequence.

WS at the height of his power.
I think that WS had evolved his skill in previous books and refined it in this the culmination of the Courtney family.
The racial politics of the time are fairly portrayed from all angles, and many of the outcomes predicted have come to pass decades after the book was written, once again showing WS deep insight into human nature.
Good narration managed to portray emotions in the many acents in an understated way that makes the characters believable.

Rage
Constant exciting storytelling and the love of Africa and the gradual unfolding of the inevitable and I think will be the sad beginning of the end for the white tribes in that lovely country.

Highly recommended!
I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book and all the books in the Courtney series. Wilbur Smith is a magician with words! My husband had been trying to get me to read Wilbur’s books for years but I haven’t had the time to do it so he bought me a years subscription and I have listened to them this way but I may read and enjoy them again if I ever retire!

Loved the Book and the Now the Audible One!
I've been a fan of Wilbur Smith as long as I can remember and have pretty much all his books. Rage fits neatly into the Courtney series and I would recommend it anyone interested in Smith's story of the South African family. My only issue with the narration was that the sound quality was quite poor - or at least the recorded sound was not always high enough and even with my headphones on full volume it was a struggle to hear sometimes (like too much bass?). It was very easy to tell when it switched to a different file as the volume changed!

Fascinating
Having lived through much of this, I found the tragedy and inevitable consequences of the results of actions worthy of a Shakespearean tragedy. The vast panorama of southern Africa on which it is played out and the inevitability of the consequences which are still visible today is heartbreaking. . A magnificent book.
