About this audiobook
The New York Times bestselling 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 eighteenth 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 towards 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.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5pirates and gorgeous girls, swashbucklers, ok plot - bit of lite bus reading.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I was disappointed after reading Blue Horizon, as I felt it didn't capture the spirit of Monsoon (my favorite of the Courtney books) and thought it was an unworthy sequel. The Tiger's Prey on the other hand, recreates the drama and potential of the Indian Ocean trade network as well as some intense sea battles on par with any good historical fiction work. Not sure how much was Smith and how much was Tom Harper, but recommended for those who liked Monsoon and the Courtney saga.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another great Wilbur Smith romp with the Courtney family. Once again we are on the high seas but in Bombay too and there are castles, swords, pirates , battles and lots of adventures. Never disappoints.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Fun to read these for old times sake.
