Fever Coast
A real Wilbur Smith-style adventure, set against the lawless coasts of 18th century Africa and the brutal wars in colonial India.
A rogue army. A continent in chaos. One man’s thirst for revenge.
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.
Lachlan is meant to die that day. But though he is young and untried, he proves a hard man to kill.
And blood will have blood. He wants vengeance and he wants to know why.
Lachlan pursues his family’s murderer all the way to the frenzied and oppressive coast of Carnatic India, with its British redcoat forts, slave markets and Moghul emperors.
But as he finally closes in on his quarry, he discovers payback is not quite as simple as he thought.
And there are some secrets it’s better not to know.
