Wilbur Smith
A lost civilisation. A curse reborn.
Dr Ben Kazin has only a blurred photograph and a gut instinct that there is a lost city to uncover somewhere beneath the Botswana cliffs. Soon, a whispered curse and a chance encounter with a local tribe lead him to discover much more than city foundations.
The curse, it seems, is real, and will link Ben, his oldest friend and the woman they both love with a forgotten leader from 2,000 years ago, in a city of glory and honour that subsequently disappeared without a trace. But what happened to that ancient civilisation? And what is it that connects that lost empire to Ben and the violent dangers he must face in the present day?
An action-packed archaeological adventure from global best seller Wilbur Smith.

Obviously the book, having been written years ago, reflects the racism and sexism of the times (i.e, Black characters and women characters are not written with much depth), but the author manages to vividly relate the story from differing viewpoints.
The story is told with great detail in both "present" day and in the past, but I did not find the ending in the "present" to be very satisfying. I do have to admit that I first read The Sunbird as a condensed version in Reader's Digest a LONG time ago, re-read it in the 1990s, and am now in 2024 listening to the audiobook, so it is clearly a story I have not been able to forget
Well read, unforgettable story
