Elephant Song (novel)

Elephant Song is a 1991 novel by Wilbur Smith.[1][2] Publishers Weekly stated said the novel contained "some romance, more sex, lots of bloody fighting and international intrigues, all carried out by deftly directed larger-than-life cardboard characters, will surely please Smith's fans and other action-addicted readers."[3]
