This is Book 4 of the Courtney Series but it is the one that stuck in my mind from 20 plus years ago and it was that memory that drove me back to the saga and to hugely enjoy it the second time around. The Courtney Series runs from the initial entry onto the southern tip of Africa by the Europeans, through the conquest of the continent and its eventual emancipation; the latter within my lifetime. This particular book encapsulates the beauty and the beast within this whole period. Fleeing from the aftermath of the Great War, pregnant with an illegitimate child, the heroine's first introduction to Africa is being shipwrecked on the Skeleton Coast; an endless expanse of burning sand dunes flanked, on one side by shark infested seas and, on the other, by a waterless desert. The descriptions are achingly beautiful and we are introduced to the San…
'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 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.'

But none of that detracts from the sheer fun of the book and the insight into the mind and actions of a man who is, without doubt, a giant of his time. He rose and he fell and who knows if he will rise again? What comes across to me is the lack of any antipathy towards his erstwhile opponents and the hint that in many cases, behind the scenes, there may even have been a friendship. Comparisons are always drawn between Johnson and his obvious hero, Churchill. And some of them bear scrutiny. But the one thing that Johnson exhibits is that, behind the ego necessary for any frontline Politician, there is humility, self-deprecation and an empathy towards his fellow man, that his detractors, harping on about his…
THE UNMISSABLE, UNVARNISHED MEMOIRS OF BORIS JOHNSON
'ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY, MIND-BLOWINGLY EXPLOSIVE' ED BALLS
'SENSATIONAL' DAILY MAIL
Boris Johnson has always been larger than life. Controversial, untrammelled by the normal rules of politics, his route to becoming Britain's prime minister included a landmark career as a journalist, two terms as London's mayor, leading the Vote Leave Brexit campaign and acting as foreign secretary. He won the largest Tory majority since 1987 when he went to the polls in December 2019 for a mandate to 'Get Brexit Done' - only to have his administration hit by the global Covid pandemic and toppled…
