The Courtney family blood has long run hot--as hot as the passion and turmoil boiling in war-torn South Africa. When one of their own succumbs to the worst kind of evil, those ties are put to the ultimate test.
Isabella Courtney, dazzling daughter of South Africa's ambassador to England, is passionately obsessed with Ramon, the Marques de Santiago y Machado--also known as the Golden Fox, one of the world's most ruthless terrorists. When she secretly bears his child, Ramon kidnaps the boy and persuades powerful, yet reluctant, Isabella to betray South Africa and her beloved family...until the truth at last comes out, and the explosive Courtneys rally to her side and strike back with a raging vengance....

Discuss Out Of Books Golden Fox (Courtney #8)

I love that one: an African adventure with great characters, wonderful tales about love, betrayal, friendship, historical fiction about the Cold War. A bit of bias against some political organisations and a lot of glory around particular social groups, tough! Still, its fiction!

Wilbur Smith and the wonderful Courtney SagaI will never tire of rereading these wonderful books immense pleasure of you have never read any start from beginning !

Wow, I can't believe I have had this book for 3 years - I thought I was getting through my TBR books quicker than that. I really enjoyed this. The back blurb is really misleading as the story is nothing like described. The horrible situation that Isabella is put in made me squirm throughout, so the ending was fantastic. Some of the 'political' bits got a bit wearing and seemed to drag for ages, but the episodes of utter violence and mayhem soon made you forget them!

This book was a tad dull and so slow, not a lot happened until the last 100 or so pages. The story / plot, in general was ok, believable - occasionally went into the irrelevant i.e. the fishing trip, the bird retrieve contest etc. The characters seemed to be the extremes of their features and personalities i.e. Bella was the best looking, Centaine the best strategist, Ramon was the best terrorist/plotter, Shasa was the best politician, Sean was the best action hero, Garry the best company

Moving on to 1970s. this ia a very political book covering not only apartheid South Africa but also the revolution in Ethiopia (quite gruesome and the Cubans in Angola (quite interesting).A real James Bond type of Cold War thriller.

Reading the previous book now!

Smith continues to top his previous novels in this instalment of the Courtney series, with Isabella the primary focus. Living with Shasa in London during his time as South African ambassador, Isabella meets and falls in love with Ramon. Unbeknownst to her, this 'chance' meeting is anything but luck, as the 'Golden Fox' is a close relative of Fidel Castro and a high-ranking official within the KGB. When Ramon impregnates Isabella, all is kept secret with a promise to announce it to the Courtney
