Book Summary 
Cloudburst (2020) marks the adventurous kickoff of the Jack Courtney series by Wilbur Smith (co‑written with Chris Wakling). The story follows fourteen‑year‑old Jack Courtney, who travels from the UK to the Democratic Republic of the Congo with his parents—activists attending a gorilla conservation conference—and his friends Amelia and Xander. What begins as a routine educational trip soon turns into a thrilling mission when Jack’s parents vanish, abducted amidst the rainforest while investigating illicit tantalum mining tied to a family-run operation. With wildlife and environmental stakes rising—and facing betrayal from within his own family—Jack must brave the jungle's dangers—including mercenaries, poachers, forest elephants, and hippos—to find his parents and expose the corruption behind their disappearance 

About the Author: 
Wilbur Smith (1933–2021) was a Zambian‑born novelist celebrated for his action‑packed historical adventures, primarily set in southern Africa. His career took off in 1964 with When the Lion Feeds, sparking a prolific output that spanned nearly 50 novels—many charting the epic Courtney and Ballantyne family sagas, as well as ancient Egyptian-themed stories—selling over 140 million copies worldwide Known for vivid storytelling and deep research—he even worked in a gold mine to inform one novel—Smith embraced the wild and drew from his own experiences as a bushman, diver, and conservationist. Cloudburst, co‑authored with Chris Wakling, marks his venture into children's fiction and reflects his enduring commitment to adventure narratives and environmental themes, with proceeds partly supporting literacy and adventure writing through the Wilbur & Niso Smith Foundation
