The Ghost and the Darkness was from a novel by South African author, Wilbur Smith, who has written dozens of historical novels about Kenya. Smith’s nnovels are fascinating and based upon real events, although the names of the characters have been changed. They are broken into groups that follow one famiy through several generations, and I recommend reading them that way. Check your local library.

I read a couple of Wilbur Smith’s Egypt based novels. The man likes his smut. They were entertaining but not exactly something I'd pass on to the kids to read.

Do you have a link to that? I can't find anything that ties Smith to this story.
