Who sings for the lost country?
Dr Daniel Armstrong, ecologist and documentary maker, has dedicated his life to protecting Africa's animals and rainforests. But when a gang of poachers murders his childhood friend, Chief Warden of the National Park, and steals the government-protected ivory stores, Daniel's quest of passion becomes one of revenge.
In London, fiery anthropologist Kelly Kinnear is locked in a confrontation with the most powerful conglomerate in the city. She has been studying and living with the Bambuti people, whose way of life is being destroyed by the greed of men on the other side of the world.
As Daniel calls on his expert knowledge and insider connections to investigate who ordered the savage killing, he will discover something much worse than simple murder. As his path crosses with Kelly the two join forces in a battle to save a country devastated by corruption. Can they save the place and people they love from such a powerful and destructive force? Wilbur Smith was born in Central Africa in 1933. He became a full-time writer in 1964 following the success of When the Lion Feeds, and has since published over fifty global bestsellers, including the Courtney Series, the Ballantyne Series, the Egyptian Series, the Hector Cross Series and many successful standalone novels, all meticulously researched on his numerous expeditions worldwide. An international phenomenon, his readership built up over fifty-five years of writing, establishing him as one of the most successful and impressive brand authors in the world.
The establishment of the Wilbur & Niso Smith Foundation in 2015 cemented Wilbur's passion for empowering writers, promoting literacy and advancing adventure writing as a genre. The foundation's flagship programme is the Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize.
