SOME WILL WIN. SOME WILL LOSE.

As war is declared between the British Empire and the Transvaal Republic, veteran and entrepreneur Sean Courtney realises that it is not only on the battlefield that enemies are born. His sons are repeating the sins of their father, locked in a violent battle. Meanwhile Sean's own brother, Garrick, is bitter and vengeful, determined to destroy Sean and the empire he has built for himself.

As Sean finds himself on the brink of losing everything in the ongoing war, he finds something he has never had before - love - with the strong-willed, self-assured and beautiful Ruth Friedman. But this love forms a weakness in him, a weakness Garrick is determined to manipulate to deliver the revenge he desperately seeks.

With the world against him, Sean must fight for everything he has built. But when your enemy is your own family there are some wars in which there are no victors . . .

The Sound of Thunder is the thrilling second novel from Wilbur Smith, one of the best and most beloved authors of the century.
