The Burning Shore

By: Wilbur Smith

Synopsis:

Centaine screamed and drove the point of her stave down into the jaws with
all her strength. She felt the sharpened end bite into the soft pink mucous
membrane in the the back of its throat, saw the spurt of scarlet blood, and
then the lion locked its jaws on the stave and with a toss of its flying
mane ripped it out of her hands and sent it windmilling out and down to hit
the earth below.
The passionate love of a beautiful French aristocrat for a courageous South
African aviator is begun and extinguished in the blazing skies of war-torn
France. But Centaine de Thiry is bent on realising some of the dreams which
she and Michael Courtney had shared - and sets out to seek a future for his
unborn child in the country of Michaels birth. But in a monumental odyssey
of disaster and adventure she must first brave all the combined terrors of
war, shipwreck, thirst , fever and the burning fastnesses of Nabia's
Skeleton Coast before she sees another living soul...
