Customer Reviews
Shadow of the Osprey
Just about to download the next enthralling book by this wonderful story teller Peter Watt. My kind of stories, love the writing style of this author - it's like reading a historic factual encyclopaedia with a truck load of adventure thrown in.
Most people are totally unaware of our violence and cruelty for the acquisition of this our our country, and I think everyone should know of our beginnings, but you can't change history.
Nations and people have been conquered since time began and ours is no different, but this saga does explain a lot. Loving the storylines - can't wait to read the next book!
I'm a Peter Watt fan now, he is our Wilbur Smith!
