I just finished Call of the Raven by Wilbur Smith with Corban Addison. It is a prequel for the an old Ballentyne Series by Wilbur Smith. I have not read this series. This book explores Mungo St. John. Mungo is a young man who is the son of a wealthy plantation owner and has spent time getting his education abroad. His love interest is Camilla, a slave owned by his father. His father’s lawyer, Chester Marion, hoodwinked Mungo’s father into some bad business deals. Mungo returns to find that his father lost everything, Camilla is now Chester’s slave, and Windemere has been bought by Chester.
Seeking revenge rules Mungo’s life. He has no money and works on a slave ship and goes to Africa. He vows to to seek revenge. I had a love/hate relationship with Mungo. Smith and Addison do a wonderful job creating life during this time period. I especially liked Camilla. She makes the best of her very difficult life. I know from having read this prequel, I am going to start reading the series.
