The Smoke that Thunders is a collection of three short stories.
Feel the power of the mighty Zambezi river as it comes down in flood, a young girl caught in the raging current, the smoke that thunders hangs high over her head as she is sweeped towards the precipice; a hundred meter drop.
Over 500 million litres' of water a minute cascade over the almost 2 km wide falls, causing a deafening and spectacular explosion of spray that can be seen from 30 miles away. This is why it is known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya or The Smoke that Thunders. Can Piet van Zyl pull off a rescue attampt.
The Anniversary is a dark tale, leading you down into the darkness of a deranged mind.
"n Boer maak n Plan" shows the softer side of Piet van Zyl as he gathers his courage in his hands and persues the lovely Peggy in a short romantic lighthearted story.
