This is a a complex epic adventure adventure story which takes place during the time of the French revolution. Adam Courtney returns to Navitity Bay to find his his home in ruins and his family murdered. Thus begins his search for those responsible and to have have his revenge. I gave this 3 Stars because of the amount of violence throughout the book and the story going back and forth between characters and time periods. I received this book from LibraryThing as an Early Review (

Yes, everyone else seems to love this book, but I could not get past the gratuitous violence on every page of this book. Two story lines, two lines of violence, I wanted to toss the book aside halfway through. Some violence is OK, but this much? Ugh. And really, how could someone survive all the people survived in this story. It seemed so fictitious. The only redeeming line was the two-story lines and how could they come together in the end.
Thank you to librarything.com and Zaffre at Bonnier Books Publishing for a copy of this book. (

This historical fiction adventure continues the saga of the Courtney family, previously seen in earlier Smith novels. Set in the period of the French Revolution and Napoleon's reign, it tells the story of Adam Courtney and Paul Courtenay, unbeknownst to them relatives, on either side of the world, engaged in adventures that include warcraft, romances and sexual escapades. This is a rip-roaring tale of war exploits, adventures on the high seas, and high personal dramas. Plenty of twists and surprises here. Will please the avid historical novel reader. (

I think Wilbur Smith with Tom Harper might become my new favorite author. Nemesis is the latest book and it’s filled with action and adventure. It’s a complex book though because it has parallel plot lines of two characters and every other chapter talks about one of them. I did not get confused though and followed the riveting story. I’m probably going to go find the beginning of this series thanks to reading this book.
