About the author
Peter Rimmer
78 books86 followersPeter Rimmer was born in London, England, and grew up in the south of the city where he went to Cranleigh School. After the Second World War and at aged 18, Peter joined the Royal Air Force, reaching the rank of Pilot Officer before he was 19. Then at the end of his National Service and with the optimism of youth, he sailed for Africa with his older brother to grow tobacco in what was then Rhodesia, and the odyssey of his life began.
The years went by and Peter found himself in Johannesburg founding an insurance brokering company. Over 2% of the companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange were clients of Rimmer Associates. He opened companies in the United States of America, Australia and Hong Kong and travelled extensively between the branches.
His passion had always been writing books, which he started at a very early age, though running a business was a driving force too and a common thread throughout his books. By the 1990’s, he had written several novels about Africa and England, and his breakthrough came with Cry of the Fish Eagle published by HarperCollins, Zimbabwe. It was a bestseller, which was followed up with the release of Vultures in the Wind. However, during this time, Zimbabwe was going through its struggles and the books did not get their just international recognition.
Having lived a reclusive life on his beloved smallholding in Knysna, South Africa, for over 25 years, Peter passed away in July 2018. He has left an enormous legacy of unpublished work for his family to release over the coming years, and not only them but also his readers from around the world will sorely miss him. Peter Rimmer was 81 years old.

I have read the first 6 books of the Brigandshaw Chronicles previously and now have continued with books 7,8,9. The saga continues with family moving between England and Africa. The author continues with the history of the relationship between England and Africa and does such great job of describing the scenery and growth of both countries. The Brigandshaw family also goes through some trying times with relationships among the characters which makes this series so interesting. He makes you want to read the next series which I plan to do. I never knew much about this time period and if you haven't either this will be a good series to start

Enough!
Beautifully written. The author patently had an abundance of patience and determination in putting this saga together. Unfortunately the reader will need the same qualities and after nine volumes this reader has had quite enough. The story is engaging and one half expects some disaster to arrive on the next page although it does descend into lengthy periods of domestic trivia as often as not. Good but tiring - and just occasionally tedious.

Is it the same writer?
Other books in the Brigandshaw Chronicles has more excitement in the writing style.
The last book was mundane, lacking variety and interest. More like a boring diary.
Lots of opportunities for adding spice to the plot were missed.
It seemed as if the writer was just going through the motions to fill the book to a set number of pages

The series continued developing its characters and introducing new ones. The struggle in Rhodesia continued and the struggles with the characters continued. I wanted to keep reading and now am looking forward to the next book.

Fabulous as usual
This book is more political than the others, the story of UDI looked at from both the British and Rhodesian perspectives. Very interesting while still maintaining the story. I have the next three books waiting!
