Summary: This is a good airplane read....
Review: If you're tired of the inflight magazine, pick this book up as I did on a recent trip back home from Chicago. I didn't realize I had read this before (I should have known, I've read all the other ones) but that did not stop me from getting caught up inthe story again.Smith walks the fine line between action novel and romance novel, in fact it was my mom who introduced me to his writing years ago, but Eye of The Tiger's 'manly' cover design won't get you any strange looks on the plane... He just draws you in. You feel like, "Sure, I know what's it's like to dive in the Indian Ocean, fight off sharks, ride out a cyclone, no problem." I defy you to read a Wilbur Smith book without getting totally drawn into the story. Like I said - this one's great for a plane flight, just about the right length for coast-to-coast travel and perfect if you're longing for the sun. MM

Summary: A Great Adventure Story!
Review: Reading this book was like reading Crichton or early Grisham except there was also something old-timey about it, too - like reading H. Rider Haggard, Conan Doyle, Dumas, Burroughs or Jules Verne for the first time when you were a kid. Sheer pleasure. It was a winner, a completely engaging book - and it went on my shelf of books worth re-reading. The kind of book you smile about, remembering how enjoyable it was to read.

Summary: my review
Review: The plot in this book is about a man who lives life quietly in a small island off the African Coast, in the Indian Ocean. He is suddenly jolted in the middle of a murder and forced to find a treasure to defend his life and his subsistence. The story is well thought out and keeps you interested throughout; it is also easy to follow. The characters and places are well presented. The ending is also a total surprise. Good easy reading.

Summary: Treasure and deception
Review: This book has it all: An exotic location, mystery, treasure, deceit and plenty of bad guys. This was the first Wilbur Smith book I have read, but it certainly will not be the last. This was a well paced, and wonderful adventure story with just the right hint of larceny. I appreciate fellow writers who know their topic, understand the sea and get the little details right. This was fun, fast romp and very enjoyable.

Summary: Great Deep Sea Mystery
Review: This is a great book by Wilbur Smith! I have read other books by him, and this is definitely one of my favorites! I don't like stories where you can guess the ending, and this is definitely not one of them. The plot is full of twists and turns. The main character is very human, not some Superman-type character that the reader can't relate to at all. The villains are bad, but believably so. They aren't bad in a dorky kind of way.
This is a great sea adventure. The book is how Harry Fletcher and his friends have to beat Manny Resnick and his goons to "the eye of the tiger." They are looking for a treasure ship off the coast of Africa. Along the way Harry Fletcher falls in love with a woman who is not all that she seems to be. This story has action, mystery, romance, and a good plot. What else does a good book need?

Summary: One of Wibur Smith's best
Review: This is a rerelease of a very exiting book. My copy, one of all of Wilbur Smith's books, is dated 1976. My first, "The Sunbird" was just the first in hours of enjoyable reading. All of my Wilbur Smith books are well thumbed and this one I have read many times. See "The Rage of the Sea".......... Enjoy!

Summary: Great Book
Review: This is one of Wilbur Smith's best novels. Great main character and the female in this book isn't as clueless as his usual females. If you liked this one check out Birds of Prey by him.
