The Thundering Smoke: Book 1 – The Price of Freedom by Guy Quigley is a powerful start to a historical fiction series. It follows Tom Sutton, an Irish war veteran haunted by loss—his wife tragically killed, his son missing. Seeking a fresh start, Tom journeys to Africa, where he meets Heidi and travels to Victoria Falls, hoping to escape the past. But violence isn’t easily left behind. Quigley captures the aftermath of Ireland’s Liberation War and the colonial tensions in Africa, weaving a powerful story of redemption, resilience, and healing. If you like historical sagas, you will be pulled in by its emotional resonance and the realistic writing.

If you're looking for a novel that combines romance, war, desire, and redemption, this is the novel you should choose. ''The Thundering Smoke'' tells the story of Tom Sutton, who travels to Africa trying to escape his past and the loss of his family. What he doesn't know is that in that place he will find a dangerous path to find the peace he needs. This novel has a great narrative, and I really love the description of the places that the author describes in this novel.
