"Når ravnen kalder" er en spændingsroman fyldt med action, skrevet af bestsellerforfatteren Wilbur Smith. En handlingsmættet roman om en mands stræben efter hævn, om slaveriet i Amerika og den ubalance i mennesket, som kan drive os fremad – eller knuse os. Augustus Mungo St John, søn af en velhavende plantageejer og en hengiven mor, er vant til rigdom og luksus, som følge af hans privilegerede opvækst. Da han efter afsluttet universitetsuddannelse vender hjem, må han konstatere, at hans familie er ruineret, hans arv forsvundet og hans barndoms store kærlighed, slaven Camilla, frarøvet ham af den umoralske og grænsesøgende Chester Marion. Ansporet af vrede såvel som af kærlighed sværger Mungo at hævne sig og redde Camilla – og at ødelægge Chester. Uden magt over sin egen skæbne og holdt fanget i New Orleans, må Camilla gøre hvad hun kan for at overleve Chesters brutale opførsel. Mungo må kæmpe med sin egen skæbne og modgang for at opnå den hævn, som driver ham, og for at generobre sin egen magt. Han opdager, hvad det kræver af en mand at overleve, selvom han ingenting har, og hvad han er villig til at gøre for at få, hvad han vil have. "Når ravnen kalder" er en selvstændig prequel til "Stenfalkens land", som er første bog i Ballantyne-serien. Wilbur Smith vender nu tilbage til sin Ballantyne-serie, om bl.a. slavehandel i Amerika i slutningen af det 19. århundrede. Her er historien om Mungo St Johns tidlige år, og hvordan han blev formet til den karakter, som Wilbur Smiths mange fans vil kende ham fra "Stenfalkens land". Ballantyne-serien er en familiekrønike med fire bøger, der fortæller om familiens liv fra 1860'erne til 1980'erne. De fire bøger er: Stenfalkens land Når falkene flyver Falkene vender tilbage Leoparden jager i mørke

Med Courtneys krig fortsætter Wilbur Smith den hæsblæsende og dramatiske historie om familien Courtney. Denne gang i en episk fortælling om mod, forræderi og udødelig kærlighed. Gerhard von Meerback kæmper, trods sin modstand mod nazisterne, for sit fædreland og håber på en dag at have mulighed for at hjælpe med at befri Tyskland fra Hitler og hans brutale regime. Men da hans enhed kastes ind i Anden Verdenskrigs blodigste slag, ved han, at hans chance for at overleve bliver mindre dag for dag. I mellemtiden er Saffron Courtney blevet rekrutteret til Churchills britiske spionnetværk. Hun sendes til det besatte Belgien på en farlig mission, men det står snart klart for hende, at hun bliver jaget af en af Tysklands mest ubarmhjertige spioner. Konfronteret med en større ondskab, end de nogensinde kunne forestille sig, må de to elskende tage det sværeste valg af alle: Skal de ofre sig for krigen eller gøre, hvad de kan, for at overleve og håbe, at de en dag vil blive genforenet?

In this sweeping adventure full of danger, action, and intrigue, the master who has been the model for bestselling authors such as Clive Cussler and Bernard Cornwell returns to his longest-running series, taking fans back to the very beginnings of the Courtney family saga. The son pirate and merchant Sir Frances Courtney, Henry "Hal" Courtney was raised at sea. When war broke out between the English and the Dutch empires, his father, fighting for the English crown, attacked a fleet of Dutch East India Company ships off the coast of Africa. That bravery was met with betrayal, and Sir Francis was executed. His heartbroken son witnessed his death and dedicated his young adulthood to avenging his father's name. Now, twenty years of war have passed. It is 1784, and a truce has been made between the English and the Dutch, ending the long years of battle on the seas. Hal, too has changed. He has become the captain of his own ship, and is soon to become a father himself. Navigating his crew across the waves of danger, Hal sails his ship, the Golden Bough, from the slave markets of Zanzibar to the pirate-riddled waters of the Indian Ocean in search of fortune and treasure. But though the war is over, the final battle has not been won. Soon, Hal will learn that the more a man achieves, the more he has to lose. Bursting with swashbuckling action and thrilling adventure, this magnificent novel breathes new life into one of Wilbur Smith's most beloved family sagas and confirms his status as our "best historical novelist" (Stephen King).
