Krijger

De avonturenroman Krijger, het tweeëntwintigste deel in de Courtney-serie van Wilbur Smith, speelt zich af in Zuid-Afrika, 1820. In een aangespoelde boot ontdekt Ann Waite twee schipbreukelingen: een zeeman vol littekens en een baby. De zeeman weigert enige hulp en maakt zich snel uit de voeten. Ann besluit het jongetje op te voeden als haar eigen zoon, en noemt hem Harry. Twee jaar later drijft het lot Ann en Harry terug op het pad van de mysterieuze schipbreukeling: Ralph Courtney. Hij is net ontsnapt van Robbeneiland en wil samen met lotgenoten zijn fortuin maken in Nativity Bay, de legendarische plek waarover zijn vader hem vertelde. Daarbij rekenden Ralph en zijn medepioniers buiten de invloed van krijgerskoning Shaka, wiens koninkrijk grenst aan Nativity Bay. Terugkeren is onmogelijk, en Ralph wordt gedwongen het verleden waar hij altijd voor weg heeft gerend onder ogen te komen. ‘Topamusement.’ ‒ de Volkskrant ‘De allerbeste historische romanschrijver.’ ‒ Stephen King
