With 49 titles under his belt, Smith became a household name, his swashbuckling adventure stories taking readers from tropical islands to the jungles of Africa and even Ancient Egypt and World War II.
Born in Zambia in 1933 to a British family, he was also a big game hunter, having grown up experiencing the forest, hills and savannah of Africa on his parents’ ranch.As a conservationist, he managed his own game reserve and owned a tropical island in the Seychelles. His bestselling “Courtney Series” was the longest-running in publishing history, spanning generations and three centuries, “through critical periods from the dawn of colonial Africa to the American Civil War, and to the apartheid era in South Africa”, said his publisher.
His books have been translated into around 30 languages and several made into films, including “Shout at the Devil” with Lee Marvin and Roger Moore in 1976.
