The Dark of the Sun (Abridged)

The inner conflicts of a mismatched band of mercenaries threatens to derail an important mission in Wilbur Smith's dramatic adventure novel, The Dark of the Sun, set during the Congo Crisis. This thrilling audiobook is read aloud by actor Steven Pacey.

Bruce Curry is the leader of a mercenary band with the dubious support of three white officers. His mission is to relieve a mining town cut off by the fighting and to retrieve a priceless consignment of diamonds. Ranged against his ill-disciplined unit are bandits, guerillas and hostile tribes that roam the land. But there is another, even deadlier enemy - one of his own men . . .
