![]() The Taita stories, though interesting, are insufferable in the all excelling God-like qualities of that man and in the first person, it looks like Wilbur is fondly imagining himself as a demi-God through Taita. I think this is the third name I have seen? He has dedicated all his books to his wife, but the name changes from time to time. Interesting to see the book dedicated to his wife. ![]() He has some history but mostly it is fluff, with no depth in it. Because if you include dead ones, even there William Shakespeare will beat him hollow with Henry VIII or King Lear. But the best historical novelist? Come on! He can be perhaps the best living historical novelist with the initials WS. Really? Don’t get me wrong, I like Wilbur Smith books, and have reviewed many here, including Assegai, Elephant Song, or the earlier Taita stories starting from the first one, River God. It claims that Stephen King said that Wilber Smith is the best historical novelist. ![]()
