A Falcon Flies (Ballantyne #1) + The Dark of the Sun + The Sunbird by Wilbur Smith

 Wilbur Smith is a master story-teller, packing adventure, excitement and high drama into every page. Here are three of his most powerful novels; set chiefly in the savage African landscape, they grip the reader in a whirlwind of fast-moving action.

A Falcon Flies
It is 1860: Robyn Ballantyne sets sail for Africa, driven by her obsessive determination to find her lost father - and to discover her destiny. Thrown headlong into the cruel horror of the slave trade, her quest becomes a journey through the outer limits of human passion and suffering.

The Dark of the Sun
Amidst the bloodthirsty violence of the Congo, an English mercenary and a Belgian girl fall desperately in love. But Bruce Curry's trade is in death, and his mission into the heart of the jungle threatens his very existence.

The Sunbird
Following the trail of a majestic ancient civilisation buried beneath the scorched dust of Botswanaland, Dr Benjamin Kazin and his assistant Sally find themselves embroiled in the danger and intrigue of modern Africa. As the mists of time clear, the hidden glories of the lost city dramatically to life.
