Birds of Prey (Smith novel)
''Birds of Prey'' is a 1997 novel by Wilbur Smith set in the late 17th century.〔(''Birds of Prey'' ) at Wilbur Smith's website〕 The novel was the first in the third sequence of the Courtney series of novels, and as of 2013 was chronologically the first in the entire series.
Smith says the book established the characteristics of the family: "Right from ''Birds of Prey''... the Courtneys were pirates, merchants, looking to seize the main chance. They were very much driven by monetary considerations. But with the Ballantynes it was much more empire, patriotism, glory – the soldierly virtues."〔("Greatest Historical Novelist of Our Time? ) Richard Lee's 2005 interview with WILBUR SMITH", ''Historical Novel Society'' accessed 18 May 2013〕
