Birds of Prey by Wilbur Smith

A Seafaring Courtney Adventure Of Treasure And Betrayal

Very Good Condition - Light rubbing to jacket edges and corners.

In 1667, as England and the Netherlands fight for power at sea, Sir Francis Courtney and his son Hal patrol the waters off southern Africa aboard the Lady Edwina. Their licence to seize Dutch trading ships promises rich rewards, and the capture of a merchant vessel seems to offer both treasure and valuable hostages. But the coast is a dangerous place to trust appearances or alliances. A betrayal turns their enterprise into a desperate struggle, forcing Hal towards challenges far beyond his experience. Wilbur Smith follows an earlier generation of the Courtney family through a historical adventure of maritime rivalry, ambition and survival at the edge of the known world.
