Hello guys,
my name is Luc, 20 years old, and I've just become addicted to the Wilbur Smith novels.
As a small boy of around 12 I read The Seventh Scroll, translated in Dutch, which was my first WS novel ever. I enjoyed this book so much that I begged my mum to buy me another one. She came back with Triumph of the Sun, which was written in english. However, unfortunately this was a bit over my head at the time, so I put the book away and forgot about reading for a few years.
About 3 weeks ago I picked up Triumph of the Sun again, to have something to do while I'm driving around in public transport, haha! This book was absolutely amazing, and I didn't even notice it was written in english! I must say that my english has improved over the past few years, but I still regretted not having started reading a few years earlier!
I now made the decision to read the 4 Ballantyne novels before moving on to the entire Courtney-series.
Have I made the right decision to read this 'short' series before reading the lengthy Courtneys?
Greetings from holland!
