The Ballantyne series is a multi-generational historical saga following a family across more than a century of African history. Created by Wilbur Smith with A Falcon Flies in 1980, the series tracks the Ballantyne family through colonialism, war, independence, and the forces that shaped southern Africa.
The later books in the series were co-written with Corban Addison, who brought his own background in international justice to the saga. The series spans from the 1860s to the modern era, with each novel centered on a different generation of the family and the historical events that define their lives.
