At the end of the nineteenth century, Sudan was in revolt against Anglo-Egyptian rule. Under the banners of the false prophet Mahdi, the warlike tribes of the desert gathered, and the threat came from them as fiercely as the heat from the sun. The Sudanese capital of Khartoum was under siege. Trapped along with hundreds of other Britons are General Charles Gordon, Captain Penrod Ballantyne, trader Ryder Courtney, British Consul David Benbrook and his daughters. Now they have a common fate and a common goal - because those who do not have time to leave Khartoum, a terrible death awaits... "Triumph of the Sun" Wilbur Smith - an epic, large-scale book in which history itself comes alive: the Eastern splendor and treachery, the noise and fury of the crowd, the sound of drums and the sounds of battle, heroism and betrayal, dark moments of despair and the sudden light of hope.
