Showed up on Amazon's top 100 Africa Historical Fiction (.Co) site. No cover art, just blurb and book title. See for yourself. Next to mine, last time I looked. (couple of days ago)

Dates are wrong. 1789 should be end 16 hundred or ultimately beginning of the 17 hundred when Hal (Henry) Courtney was alive.

Here's the official announcement https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... =1&fref=nf

Does anyone know about the co-author?

The co-writer is Giles Kristian, he has a few historical-fiction novels published on his own with very good reviews on Amazon. So we can only hope…

It is the first time that “the help” has been credited in the cover of Wilbur’s books and I like that at least they are being honest. I suspect Wilbur has been getting assistance for quite some time. Probably started after “Monsoon”, his last masterpiece, in my opinion. I have not read the Hector Cross outings due to the abysmal reviews and I will never believe that he actually wrote “The Quest”.

Question is; will young Giles be able to portray WS's early empathy with Africa? Vikings and Zulus are worlds apart. We shall see.
