Story4.5 out of 5 stars 177
Following on from the events begun in A Falcon Flies, Men of Men continues Wilbur Smith's epic story of the Ballantynes. It is the age of empire, of blood and conquest, of boundless excitement and possibility. Striding in the footsteps of the pioneers is Zouga Ballantyne. His dream begins in the danger and drudgery of the diamond pits and ends up on the rich grasslands of Matabeleland - but not before a king and a proud warrior nation have paid the price of history....

Great book, ruined by the narrators accent
Reviewed: 09-27-21
It's beyond me how one can take a historical epic like this, from an author of this stature, and ruin it by using a narrator who has no idea how to pronounce historical names and places.
What's more, his attempt at African accents is just laughable, it sounds nothing like an African accent
Could do much better performance wise
