In the midst of all the fighting, mercenary captain Bruice Curry is in charge of rescuing a group of whites from a remote village in the path of General Moses and his band of terrorists. To get there, and back again, is going to take a lot of courage, and a lot of sacrifice... ( ) The Dark of The Sun – Wilbur Smith **** ½ Set in Africa during the Congo crisis Bruce Curry is given the mission of liberating a towns citizens (and the diamonds) from the marauding rebels. There are only him and 3 other white men with him, a disgraced alcoholic doctor, a repressed homosexual and the ever bullying Wally Hendry. They have to lead a small mercenary band on this mission encountering bloodshed at every turn. A page-turner of a novel with some very nice gory touches which include torture and cannibalism. A few parts were a bit too slushy for me… (Why do they always fall in love after about 6 hours…?) but a very good read all the same. I especially like the way Smith shares the characters thoughts as well as what they say. Will definitely be seeking out more works by this author. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
