About this listen
From best-selling novelist Wilbur Smith, The Eye of the Tiger is an exciting adventure set amongst the peaceful islands of the Indian Ocean, where a man's past returns to hunt him down.
'I was looking down, watching the shark come. It seemed to swell up in size as it rushed towards me. Every detail was burned into my mind in those frantic seconds. I saw the hog's snout with the two slotted nostrils, the golden eyes with the black pupils like arrowheads, the broad blue back from which stood the tall executioner's blade of the dorsal fin.'
Harry Fletcher, a man with a chequered past, has reformed and is making an honest living as a charter skipper fishing for big game in the seductive waters of the Indian Ocean. Suddenly men from the world of violence Harry has put behind him overturn his good intentions, involving him in a hectic race to recover a fabulous treasure from an ancient wreck.

Just as great…
… as when I read it so many years ago. I’m on an epic journey revisiting WS’s entire library of books and love them as much as I ever did - with the exception of those he released co-authored in later life.
Ben Onwukwe is a gifted narrator and his voice and intonations give the characters their individuality. Although now a little dated (ref BOAC and Panam airlines lol) highly recommend.

Ben is superb. The best narrator
The best narrator I've ever had the pleasure to listen to. He was every single character. Beautiful and rich storyline and i am sad to hear it finish....

Stand alone story from a master
This book is not part of a series and shines because of that. When it was released as a book in the 1970s, book series were not that common so writers had to stretch their imagination for each book they wrote. This one, together with Hungry as the Sea are the very best Wilbur Smith has written. They stand on their own merits as cracking good adventure stories, and the boat named "Wave Dancer" has become a legend for boat names over the years, A great listen from first to last page.

Excellent as always
But felt like it could have been longer or there could have been a sequel. Did keep me guessing and had a twist at the end which I didnt actually see coming :)
