The deep. The deadly. The damned...
For a thousand years, an unimaginable treasure has rested on the bottom of the Indian Ocean, hidden by swift blue currents, guarded by deadly coral reefs, and even deadlier school of man-eating great white sharks. Harry Fletcher, a former soldier turned fisherman, is now being pulled into a murderous mystery by men willing to kill and a beautiful woman willing to lie for what rests far beneath the sea. Now, Harry has no choice but to enter full bore into an international battle to raise an extraordinary object from the deep. Because possessing this treasure isn't just about getting rich--it's about staying alive...

5.0 out of 5 stars
A book for anyone with taste,
By benjo3000@aol.com (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Eye of the Tiger (Paperback)
This was the first book of Smiths i had read, and i found it impossible to put down. From the first page, the characters are made so real that you immediatly care about them, and feel the need to find out what happens. Someof the action scenes are so gripping, it feels like you are watching a great movie, and Smiths writing is so wonderfully descriptive, you can really picture the action, and sympathise with the emotions of the characters. A fantastic read.

An action-crammed story,
By
This review is from: The Eye of the Tiger (Paperback)
Harry Fletcher lives a quiet life on St Mary's Island and he takes charters on board "Wave Dancer" for fishing and diving. Angelo and Chubby are his two assistants. But the inoffensive Harry once used to be called Harry Bruce and he used to practice the art of violence and sudden death in Malaya, Vietnam, the Congo and Biatra. Furthermore he used to lift complete collections of gold coins in the British Museum and cut diamonds in Amsterdam and to transport hundreds of millions of dollars worth of gold bars from Switzerland to Rome.One day three suspicious looking men, Charley Anderson, Mike Guthric and Jimmy North, want to hire Harry's boat claiming that they want "to do a little exploring" and that they need a full array of scuba diving and salvage equipment. Then they hand Harry a chart showing that they are interested in an area thirty miles north of the mouth of the Rovuma River. What are these men after? When they recognise Harry as "the gold heist from Rome", he senses that the stakes are high and that he is sitting in the game with "big boys" once again... One of the best adventure novel by Wilbur Smith.

One of his best,
This review is from: The Eye of the Tiger (Paperback)
Some of my favourite books are Wilbur Smith's earlier works that is why I am finding time to read them again and this is one that has not jaded with time. This is a mystery thriller mixed with violence, horror and death. A great adventure.
