Book Overview
A Courtney Series adventure. An action-packed book in the Courtney Series and the sequel to Courtney's War. The war is over, Hitler is dead - and yet his evil legacy lives on. Saffron Courtney and her beloved husband Gerhard only just survived the brutal conflict, but Gerhard's Nazi-supporting brother, Konrad, is still free and determined to regain power. As a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse develops, a plot against the couple begins to stir. One that will have ramifications throughout Europe. . . Further afield in Kenya, the last outcrop of the colonial empire is feeling the stirrings of rebellion. As the situation becomes violent, and the Courtney family home is under threat, Leon Courtney finds himself caught between two powerful sides - and a battle for the freedom of a country. Legacy of War is a nail-biting story of courage, bravery, rebellion and war from the master of adventure fiction.

Saffron is so cool!
Published by MizzyRed , 3 years ago
This book was chockfull of thrilling adventures of Saffron Courtney and her family. I must say that I really liked Saffron (and her husband Gerhard) because she is well able to hold her own against the evils of the world she lives in. I was on tenterhooks when they went after Gerhard's evil brother Konrad, a previous SS official of the regime who had absconded after the fall of Germany with much gold and valuable possessions. Saffron and her family are such good people at standing up for others, like they do with the Kenyans in their area.
Besides going after Konrad, the rest of the book was tense as the Courtney's also dealt with the Mau Mau which had risen up in Kenya to push all the foreigners out of their country. There is a lot of violence and some of it is pretty graphic but if you have read other books by Wilbur Smith, you know this is the norm. I have read a few of his books now and I have enjoyed them much more than I thought I would. This one is my favorite though because I really like Saffron Courtney!
