Yep, Same guy.  Wrote series on Courtneys, one on Ballantynes, another 
based in ancient Egypt, and a whole load of books based in S. Africa.
I know movies have been made out of two of his books (Shout At The Devil 
and another that's escaping me at the moment.)

Check out alt.books.wilbur-smith.  The FAQ gets posted every so often, 
but requesting it gets it posted quicker, since there's not a lot of 
traffic until he releases a new book.
