Thanks for all the wonderful, warm welcomes.

My introduction to Wilbur Smith was very simple....I saw the book in a large retailer (Boarders) liked the cover art and jacket introduction.

From there I investigated Mr. Smith, his web site contained links. Link after link brought me here.

Ive become so interested in his works, I may have to rent a Movie adaptation. Has anyone seen the movies?

Thanks All.

Sadly, I've not been able to find a movie in North America - not for lack of trying though. Good luck with that!

Dunno if you've read this - might be worth looking into if you're interested :)

Thats great VMS, another country represented on here!
