The Sound of Thunder [047-4.8]

By: wilbur Smith

Synopsis:

A thrilling prequel to last year's blockbuster A Time to Die. Twin
brothers Sean and Garrick Courteney are forced to fight in the Boer
War. One brother returns a hero, the other a coward. The Courteney
dynasty will have to protect its future against the sins of the fathers
and the hatred of the brothers.

There was no coherence in Sean's thoughts, the only pattern was the
rise and swoop of alternate anger and despair.

Anger at the woman, anger almost becoming hatred before the plunge of
despair as he remembered she was gone. Then anger building up towards
madness, this time directed at himself for letting her go.

Again the sickening drop as he realized that there was no means by
which he could have held her.

Once more his anger flared. A week ago he had been rich-and his anger
found a new target. There was at least somewhere he could seek
vengeance, there was a tangible enemy to strike, to kill. The Boer.

The Boer had robbed him of his wagons and his gold, had sent him
scurrying for safety; because of them the woman had come into his life
and because of them she had been snatched away from him.

So be it, he thought angrily, this then is the promise of the future.
War!
