Last of Wilbur?
I've read all of the Wilbur Smith books and, as Wilbur and I grow older, wonder if Assegai is the last. With Assegai, he keeps the Courtneys alive and well.

A good read
As I said above, a good read, however, I do feel that perhaps Mr. Smith is struggling for fresh ideas. I am a big fan and will still buy his books regardless as I still find the stories compelling.
