About the book
Wild Justice contains in full measure all the elements that the name of Wilbur Smith promises: pace, tension, complex but satisfying plotting, strong love interest, vivid scenes of action and a complete grasp of the subject. It is a novel which powerfully reinforces Wilbur Smith's claim to be one of the world's leading writers of adventure. In Wild Justice he tells of ruthless men and a beautiful woman locked in a struggle for power such as few men dream of; it is a novel of treachery and betrayal, of loyalty and courage, of hatred and love. The narrative sweeps remorselessly across oceans and continents to its stunning climax in the deserts of Galilee. It is a story you will not readily forget, for such is its credibility that it could be taking place at this very moment.
