‘A master of seagoing adventure.’ Clive Cussler The ends of the earth. The depths of despair. The height of passion… Tiger Island, lying at the heart of a ships’ graveyard, is completely isolated. But when tsunami waves cover up the deadly reefs around it, only a handful of brave ships reach the island. Sindbad and Drake have been, and now it’s Richard Mariner’s turn. Accompanied by a beautiful young nurse, two ships’ worth of smugglers and their lethal contraband, he must fight until to the bitter end if they have any hope of survival. But it is Robin, his wife and business partner, who must fight to save him, hardly believing he’s still alive. Her hope hinges on a rumour she might never believe and one man. A man whose charms she is beginning to find irresistible… Peter Tonkin was born in 1950 in Ulster, Northern Ireland and was raised in the UK, Holland, Germany, and the Persian Gulf. The son of an RAF officer, Tonkin spent much of his youth travelling the world from one posting to another. He is the author of the Trojan Murders series, Caesar's Spies and the Tom Musgrave Mysteries. Praise for Peter ”Edge-of-the-seat terror.” Daily Post “A welcome aura of old-fashioned expertise.” Publishers Weekly “A good thriller, recommended.” Library Journal “Tonkin is a superb storyteller who creates big, brash, swashbuckling adventures with taut suspense, fast-paced action and tough, resourceful characters.” Booklist ”Equals the best of James Clavell.” Daily Telegraph ”Good technical detail, plus an exciting climax, makes this entertaining reading.” Publishing News
