The Ballantyne Series

The Ballantyne Novels chronicle the lives of the Ballantyne family, from the 1860s through the 1980s, against a background of the history of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).

1. A Falcon Flies 1860
2. Men of Men 1870s-1890s
3. The Angels Weep 1st part 1890s, 2nd part 1977
4. The Leopard Hunts in Darkness 1980s
