Kobus de Villiers

Kobus de Villiers woon in Port Moody, Kanada, met ’n tweede tuiste in Suid-Frankryk. Hy is ’n Afrikaner met ’n wêreldse perspektief, gevorm deur sy jeug in ’n Vrystaatse myndorp en sy volwasse lewe tussen kulture. Sy Franse vrou en hul lewe saam beïnvloed sy denke en skryfwerk op unieke maniere.

Sy eerste boek is ’n lewendige versameling outobiografiese staaltjies, anekdotes en skreeusnaakse insidente wat hy oor jare heen regoor die wêreld versamel het. Kobus skryf met selfspot en deernis, dikwels met ’n knipoog na die onwaarskynlike situasies waarin hy homself bevind het.

Hy het van kleins af geskryf, maar eers ná aftrede het hy ernstig begin werk aan publikasie. Sy stories neem lesers saam agter die skerms van geheime militêre lugvaartprojekte tydens tye van politieke spanning en tegnologiese wonder. Vir Kobus beteken lesers die geleentheid om gedeelde herinneringe, humor en verwondering te vier.

‘n Poskaart uit Moskou

Price range: R99.00 through R339.00
By

Gebaseer op ‘n ware verhaal.
‘n Angswekkende gil weergalm in die donker gang af. Afgemete voetstappe klop onheilspellend op die harde teëls. Koue oë staar deur die loergat in die swaar houtdeur.
Ek is hier in Moskou Oblast se sanatorium. Hoe het ek hier beland – was dit deur die KGB of Vladlen Mikhailov se Vierde Departement? Hulle niksseggende kantore is mos hier naby, net ? paar honderd meter wes van die Kremlin, by 19 Bolshoi Znamenskylaan.
Gedagtes warrel in my agterkop. Wie het vir Gerald Bull geskiet en waarom?

Hierdie spanningsverhaal ontvou teen die agtergrond van 1987 se onstuimige politieke klimaat. Die raaisel begin met die tragiese neerstorting van die Helderberg, gevolg deur geheimsinnige voorvalle oor verskeie lande heen: ’n joernalis verdwyn in Tsjaad, ’n Franse diplomaat sterf onder vreemde omstandighede in Botswana, en ’n geheimsinnige man verdwyn in Jerusalem. Intussen ontvang ’n afgetrede Mossad-agent ’n gekodeerde boodskap, en ’n vreemde vliegtuig land by Waterkloof. Wie stuur ’n roosblaar as waarskuwing? Wat verbind al hierdie gebeure? Is dit toevallige insidente of dele van ’n veel groter geheime komplot?

Once upon a time in Africa

Price range: R99.00 through R279.00
By

Africa. The dark continent. Home to green forests and arid deserts. Home to the big five. Where the dust trails of vast herds of wildebeest can veil the sun. A place often misunderstood and yet still to be completely explored. Africa was also the origin of man. The origin of human exploration and the search for who we are and where we came from. The cradle of myths and legends, of stories shared around the last glowing embers of the campfire. If you have not experienced a delicate mauve sunrise stealthily advancing across the grasslands of the endless savannah, you cannot count yourself as one who has lived among the lions. This is a privilege often reserved only for the chosen few who were born there. Or those who dared to travel there. I was one of those who were lucky enough to grow up there. To experience her whims and learn to read her moods and hear the stories. Often people ask me questions, wishing to know what it was like. Over time I realised that I had to tell some of the stories, share some of our secrets, take you there, show you what it was like to grow up in a magic land.

Top Secret

Price range: R99.00 through R399.00
By

This is a memoir translated from the Afrikaans best selling “Uiters Geheim”, by Kobus de Villiers, a South African engineer who worked on top secret projects. He recounts episodes in his life with a wry sense of humour, and older readers will recognize many of the references to childhood and growing up in the South Africa of that era.
“His accounts of what happened are hilarious. After 1994 he joined overseas companies that required his expertise. Through the years he made a major contribution to the development of new technology, but due to the strictly top secret nature of his work, his family and friends never knew where he was and what he was doing.
