Publisher's summary

The New York Times best-selling author of Desert God and Pharaoh adds another chapter to his popular historical saga featuring the seafaring Tom Courtney, the hero of Monsoon and Blue Horizon, with this magnificent swashbuckling saga set in the 18th century and packed with action, violence, romance, and rousing adventure.

Tom Courtney, one of four sons of master mariner Sir Hal Courtney, once again sets sail on a treacherous journey that will take him across the vast reaches of the ocean and pit him against dangerous enemies in exotic destinations. But just as the winds propel his sails, passion drives his heart. Turning his ship toward the unknown, Tom Courtney will ultimately find his destiny - and lay the future for the Courtney family.

Wilbur Smith, the world's greatest storyteller, once again recreates all the drama, uncertainty, and courage of a bygone era in this thrilling saga of the sea.

wonderful series but this novel has many parts

While I love all of Wilbur Smith' series, this novel is a little fragmented with many moving parts. While it was easy to follow while reading was easier, I had to replay the audio to get details.

One of Wilbur Smith's most intricate novels about the Courtney families and most exciting lineage!

The Tiger's Prey

Not written in the usual Wilbur Smith style. I skipped often in order to finish. The storyline is OK but the flashbacks and the descriptions are overwhelming. It also had too much gore and the bad guys were truly evil, no redemption.

Tigers prey. Usual Wilbur Smith Perfection

Wilbur Smith as always writes a gripping story that holds your attention from beginning to end. I couldn’t believe it was already over when I looked and saw it was then end of the 17th chapter already. His descriptions are amazing

Tiger’s Prey

This maritime series is no 3 on my list after Bolitho (Alexander Kent) and Hornblower. I find the torture descriptions in this book just a little too detailed for my liking.

Riveting Adventure

Absolutely enthralling. Mike Grady might be the best narrator ever. Now I want to read everything Wilbur Smith has written!
