Victoria’s Challenge: Wilbur Smith

I’ve decided to “throw my fishing net over the huge amount of a variety of New Titles we are receiving daily.” Next cab off the rank was Wilbur Smith’s  The Seventh Scroll.

I  really fell in love with Historical Fiction/Adventure/Mystery all over again! (The last time I read this kind of literature was my intermediate school days). Now I find it’s hard to stop myself from reading it, whenever I have a spare minute or two. Very dynamic, exuberant and full of real adventure flavour, plus gives you the real taste of cultural reality of Egypt and Africa, honestly, one of the best adventure authors I’ve read.
