The land of South Africa is generously watered with blood - the interests of those who were born Africans and those who came from another continent collided here to make these territories their property. White settlers - the Boers - successfully fight the rebel Zulus, but later a humiliating defeat awaits the colonists themselves. During this cruel time, brothers Sean and Garrick Courtney were born. One strives for wealth, ready to get it at any cost, the other - for a peaceful settled life on his farm. Both have great strength of spirit; it’s not for nothing that the motto of Courtney’s valiant ancestors reads: “I will endure.” But one day, it was like a black cat ran between the inseparable and devoted brothers. They became rivals for many years, and for those around them, the feud was always shrouded in mystery... When the Lions Feast and A Sound of Thunder are the first two novels in a series about the fearless Courtneys, whose glorious family dates back to the golden age of piracy. The novels are published in a new translation. Previously, the novel “And the Thunder Rolled” was published under the title “Rolling Thunder.”
