THE SOUND OF THUNDER
As war is declared between the British Empire and the Transvaal Republic, a battle-hardened and newly wealthy Sean Courtney realizes that it is not only on the front lines where enemies are made. While Sean's own brother, Garrick, is bitter and vengeful. . . determined to destroy Sean and the empire he has built. . . his sons are repeating the sins of their father, locked in a violent and seemingly never-ending struggle. On the brink of losing everything in the ongoing war, Sean discovers there is something he can't buy. . . true love. . . in the strong-willed, self-assured and beautiful Ruth Friedman. But this love forms a weakness in him, a weakness Garrick is determined to manipulate to deliver the revenge he so desperately seeks. As Sean fights to save himself, his family, and his fortune, The Sound of Thunder becomes a vibrant tale of love and hatred in many forms: between brothers, between friends, between father and son, and between man and woman.
