Now he must fight their common enemy in order to save both their lives.

"This is the sequel to my favorite novel ever so while it could never compare, it's still not bad. In Tandia, Peekay continues to strive for the welterweight world title as a boxer and for justice in a corrupt Apartheid South Africa as a lawyer. He joins forces with his best friend, Hymie Levey and a beautiful girl named Tandia Patel, who is half Indian and half African. Tandia's painful childhood and teenage years rival those of Peekay. Additionally, just like "the Judge" from The Power of One, there is a character by the name of Colonel Janie Geldenheius who despises Peekay, Tandia, and will do everything possible to destroy their pursuit of justice. All in all, it's a good read but it still cannot compare to the original, The Power of One."

    " Incredible, breathtaking. My second (third) Bryce Courtenay novel and again... bullseye! I recommend the Audible.com version narrated by Humphrey Bower. The author and the narrator compliment each other very well. "

    " This is the sequel to my favorite book, The Power of One. After backtracking a little to introduce the title character, it continues to follow the story of Peekay & Tandia. Like The Power of One, it is set during the very dark and violent time of Apartheid. "

    " I just HAD to listen to this, since I really liked The Power of One and wanted to read more about PeeKay! I guess it's really between a 3 and 4 star book for me. It was fun to follow up on him, but I thought this book wasn't as great as the first one. It seemed too melodramatic or schmaltzy. However, I still really LIKED it... or just enjoyed the story and got swept away by it. Toward the end, I was crying, as usual! I would still read more by Bryce Courtenay, even though I think, and have read in reviews, that his characters and situations are pretty over the top. It holds my attention, at least. Toward the end, I thought that the situation regarding what Tandia had been up to for 3 years was poorly developed and, I suppose, sort of a plot mechanism to get to the end. It just came as an unlikely surprise. "

    " A sequel to The Power of One which remains a favorite. A story of courage, triumph, hope and the opportunity to learn about the history of South Africa, apartheid, racial segregation yet always with an eye on the compassion of the people. Well developed characters, well written, very graphic. "
