Synopsis

Jake Barton, hard-punching engineer from Texas, and Gareth Swales, a stylish old-Etonian gunrunner down on his luck, make a lucrative arms-deal with an Ethiopian prince, and dare to challenge the international blockade on land and sea to deliver a consignment of ancient and decrepit armoured cars to his beleaguered countrymen. Part of their deal also calls for them to take, along with the armour, a beautiful but fiery young American woman journalist, who has espoused the Ethiopian cause. The three of them, Jake, Gareth and Vicky, find themselves swept irresistibly from a daring adventure into a violent confrontation with death among the high mountains of Ethiopia.

Reader Reviews
	From Andre' Mes -
	CRY WOLF, unfortunately, is my least favourite Wilbur Smith novel. Although filled to the brim with exotic locations and heart-stopping action, I found that I had little sympathy for the main characters, and even less so for the selfish, stupid Italian general who pursued the hero and his love interest. I didn't care much for the storyline either, although the mountain scenes were well-written. Not a failure in the least, but just less-appealing than Smith's other masterpieces.
	Another cracker set in Africa. Arms dealing, aged armoured cars, strong men with stronger women all combine beautifully for real entertainment. - Daily Mirror
	A rattling good adventure yarn by a master of this spanking craft... Much action, some rough humour. - Evening Standard
