About this listen

Shout at the Devil is a tense adventure novel from master of the genre Wilbur Smith, set during the outbreak of the First World War.

'Now the seas were more awesome in their raging insanity. Each mountain of glassy grey rose high above the raft, shielding it for a few seconds from the whip of the wind, its crest blowing off like the plume of an Etruscan helmet, before it slid down, collapsing upon itself in the tumbling roar of breaking water.'

In German East Africa on the eve of the First World War, two freebooting adventurers - one a flamboyant Irish American, the other an impeccable young Englishman - pit their wits against the gross German Commissioner from whose territory they are making their living as game hunters and ivory poachers. But the outbreak of war gives the signal for their private skirmishing to flare into a relentless vendetta pursued with devastating violence by land and sea, so that what begins as a comic escapade gives way to chilling horror....

Could not stop listening!

Great book. The last book from this author I was disappointing because it was not about Africa. This book is fantastic. Could not put it down. A little bit about Bush colonial Africa in around 1915 pre-World War I and then into World War I.

Adventure at it's best.

Loved the story and adventure. Also good underlying humor. Wilbur can describe a scene so vividly.

So we’ll written-I couldn’t put it down.

Wilbur Smith is amazing. What a writer! I fell in love with the characters of the book. Smith wove a tale of humor, heartbreak and injustice that kept me listening long into the night. And now I am looking for his next book in the series!

Not the best Wilbur Smith story.

Wilbur Smith is my favorite author. The performance of the narrator was fantastic, but the story was weak. This was not what I am used to. The Egyptian and Courtney novels are much better developed.

Terrible

Full of horrid profanity. I have loved 50+ books of Wilbur Smith, but I regret I wasted time on this one. I would rate - 5 stars if possible.
