About this listen

A lost civilisation. A curse reborn.

Dr Ben Kazin has only a blurred photograph and a gut instinct that there is a lost city to uncover somewhere beneath the Botswana cliffs. Soon, a whispered curse and a chance encounter with a local tribe lead him to discover much more than city foundations.

The curse, it seems, is real, and will link Ben, his oldest friend and the woman they both love with a forgotten leader from 2,000 years ago, in a city of glory and honour that subsequently disappeared without a trace. But what happened to that ancient civilisation? And what is it that connects that lost empire to Ben and the violent dangers he must face in the present day?

An action-packed archaeological adventure from global best seller Wilbur Smith.

Love Wilbur SMith books!

I enjoy Wilbur Smith. I have read a lot of his books. This is first one of his that I listened to. It was really well done. I am now listening to another one of his books and so far, it is just as good! I recommend this title.

Horrible fake accent!

Narrator has this horrible fake South African accent, but still manages to mangle all the names and places....As someone with a real South African accent it is like listening to
nails on a chalkboard.... Good story as always, but the narrator spoiled it. Returned it...
