review 1: das buch hat alles was ich von smith nach "mixed blood" erwartet habe. ein spannender plot der sich im richtigen tempo enthüllt, gut ausgearbeitete charaktere und einblicke in die südafrikanische gesellschaft. weiße antikommunisten, reaktionäre zulu mafiosi, aids, das völlig korrupte politische post apartheid system...ein durch und durch düsteres bild das smith hier von südafrika zeichnet. sympathische charaktere sucht man besser woanders. einzig die szenen zwischen vater und sohn sind mir in diesem kontext zu wenig konfrontativ. aber das liegt vielleicht am reisserischen klappentext. die übersetzung ist gut gelungen. ein beinahe perfekter thriller.
