Yep Wilbur does get into the sex My mother picked up one of my Wilbur Smith books and could not put it down. She admitted she liked "the racy parts." I did not ask for details....Tom, I'm glad someone else came up on the net with Wilbur Smith. I love those books. Truly ridiculous at times, like Barbara Cartwright with testosterone and a big package, but at other times Michener-like. My wife still busts my gonads about Wilbur because the first page of the first one she saw referred to the "impossibly pointed breasts" of Sean Courteney's soon-to-be conquest. But she reads Umberto Eco for fun.
Smiths books have spawned a number of movies: "Dark of the Sun" on the 1960s Congo; "Shout at the Devil" in WWI German East Africa; and at least partially inspired "The Wild Geese."
Best
Tom
