Sinossi
Una missione impossibile in pieno deserto
L'anno è il 1935, lo sfondo è l'Etiopia. La missione consiste nel condurre quattro decrepite autoblindo per centinaia di chilometri di deserto ostile e selvaggio fino ai pozzi di Cialdi, nel cuore del territorio etiopico che sta per essere invaso da Mussolini. L'arduo compito è affidato a due avventurieri, un americano e un inglese che agiscono per denaro, a una giornalista che ha sposato la causa degli oppressi e a un giovane dignitario etiope mosso da nobili ideali. Una missione densa di ostacoli e colpi di scena che salderà i destini dei quattro protagonisti in un'unica avventura di coraggio, passione e libertà.

Recensioni
I really enjoyed this. Lots of action. Great story. I don't know if the story depicted actual events preceding WWII, but it may have. In any case it is a great adventure, well worth the read.
This is fairly early Wilbur Smith. It is easy to see that he has not fully developed his style or skill. The first part of the book moves quite slowly as the characters and situation are introduced. Later on the booked moved at closer to the breakneck speed he became famous for. The book deals with t Leggi tutto
I've seen this book a lot over the years. It always seems to be in one charity shop or another, and to be honest, that put me off a little. Sure you can always find a Wilber Smith book in the charity shops, he's an old-school author with a lot of books, you could say the same about Stephen King or J Leggi tutto
Smith takes us through the history of the Italian attack on Ethiopia with a powerful, fast-paced narrative that never slows. We see events through an American, Jake Barton, whose skill makes derelict vehicles run and through the eyes of Gareth Swales, a stylish Englishman given to conning those arou Leggi tutto
Cry Wolf was hugely unsatisfying right up to the last 50 pages. And then the book drew its lines quickly, stuff started making sense and the heroes were defined. Gareth Swales is the character that saves the book. The book actually is not much in terms of narration. It is redeemed by the larger than Leggi tutto
This was an average boy's own adventure where suspending belief was required. Having said that it was readable with good strong lead characters but the story dipped when it focused on the antagonists. I started it as a holiday read and had to finish it when I got back. Not as good as earlier Smith n Leggi tutto
A heartbreaking story of tanks, artillery, bombers, and mustard gas against barefoot men wielding swords. With that backdrop, I almost felt guilty laughing over the Count's antics. Jake was the more likable than Gareth, who was annoying with his constant "old son." But at the end, Gareth pulled it o Leggi tutto
ভালো। তবে গতানুগতিক উইলবার স্মিথের মত না।
