Rage

Written by Wilbur Smith

Narrated by Tim Pigott-Smith

The Courtneys of Africa series continues with Rage, a dark and passionate account of the forming of a nation from Wilbur Smith, read aloud by actor Tim Pigott-Smith.

'There are heroes and there are monsters. But most of us are ordinary mortals caught up in events too turbulent for any of us. Perhaps when the battle is over, all we will inherit are the ashes of a once beautiful land.'

It is 1952. Guided by the ruthless hands of Shasa Courtney and Centaine Malcolmess, the Courtney family empire has come to dominate the lives of white and black South Africans alike.

But the winds of change are fanning fires of revolution. In the deadly quest of power, Shasa will be tested far beyond the battle of the boardroom, forced to betray his ideals for a misguided dream of national unity.
