	Amazon.de: The Triumph of the Sun: English Books: Wilbur Smith (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		As popular as he is prolific, and as masterful a storyteller now as he has ever been, Smith once again visits Africa, the continent where he was born, the source of his inspiration, and the setting for his supremely adventuresome novels that make authentic and riveting use of history.
		Smith bases this tightly woven narrative on an actual incident in British colonial history: the holy war conducted by a Sudanese man proclaiming himself the Mahdi, or savior, and his forces' siege of the British garrison at Khartoum, at the convergence of the White and Blue Nile in the Egyptian-held Sudan.
		To have a better feel of the story, I suggest you also read Wilbur Smith's other books such as "When the Lion Feeds", "Blue Horizon" etc. One thing I am sure is that whether this is your first Wilbur Smith novel or just another, you are certainly going to enjoy the story.

		Smith is a seasoned writer with a string of very successful novels behind him.

		My only complaint is that Wilbur Smith has found his niche in these Egyptian novels (Sunbird, River God, The Seventh Scroll, Warlock) but he does not seem inclined to add any more titles to the list.
		As you would expect from Wilbur Smith, the story carries you along at great pace, and it almost makes you feel as though you were there yourself.
		Wilbur Smith, however, is a writer who transports the reader to another dimension, and will leave you wnating more.

		Smith wrote books that I could live during the long winter months that there was nothing to do outside.
		Its like Smith took the fine plot from the first book, used it again on the next generation in the second, and then tiredly, once again did the same in the third.
