Wilhelmus Meere

I just finished the book called Call of the Raven and liked it I have owned and read approx 80% of the Wilbur Smith’s book and have some that I have not yet read I could not help thinking I have read this book before, as I could almost forecast as to what would happen further in the book Has this book been published previously? Maybe under a different name? Maybe somebody else wrote a book with similar occurrences Anyway it was a good book
