Fever Coast (Epic Adventure)

By Colin Falconer

Book Overview

A gripping historical thriller set against the lawless coasts of 18th century Africa and the brutal European wars in colonial India. East Africa, 1750: Lachlan McKenzie doesn't know why he and his family live on a remote trading post on the slave coast of Africa. The past is best left buried, is all his father will say about it. But then one day three warships sail downriver and turn their guns on their tiny fort. Suddenly Lachlan is in the fight for his life against a formidable enemy. His quest for survival and burning thirst for revenge take him from the African savannah and the slave markets of Mozambique to the Moghul palaces and British redcoat forts of Carnatic India, where he must ultimately decide between the life that he always dreamed of and his sworn promise of vengeance. With the future of his new family at stake, Lachlan must search his soul and answer the impossible... how much revenge is enough? Perfect for fans of Wilbur Smith and Bernard Cornwell. Colin Falconer's series of stand-alone novels draws inspiration from many periods of history. Bargain with Kublai Khan in ancient Cathay, battle Aztec warriors in a jungle temple, or enter the mountain strongholds of the legendary Cathars. Glimpse Julius Caesar in the sweat and press of the Roman Forum, ride a war elephant in the army of Alexander the Great, or follow Suleiman the Magnificent into the forbidden palace of his harem. This series has 8000 five-star reviews and has been translated into 25 languages.
