TYGER: “A very rich and satisfying reader experience”
A number of early review copies of Tyger, the next book in the Kydd series, were made available by my publishers (Hodder & Stoughton in the UK; McBooks Press in the US). I’ve been chuffed with the feedback from these reviewers, many saying it’s the best book yet! And I’m honoured that the September-October issue of Quarterdeck devotes a whole nine pages to my work and features specially commissioned photographs, taken in my study in my home in Devon.

Here’s excerpts from just three advance readers’ comments:
‘All the elements of action, surprise, disappointment, horror and elation were woven by you into a sea story for the ages. It is one of the best Kydd books to date. The fact that you are a real sailorman, like myself, makes what you say and do in your books really authentic. All in all a big thank you and a bigger Bravo Zulu to Sir Thomas and you.’ – Harry Scholer
‘I don’t know how you do it but Tyger is better than your last book. The character descriptions are strong enough I didn’t have to flip back and forth to the Dramatis Personae. The action scenes are real heart pounders. The political shenanigans read so true and gossipy. It could have been a dull recitation but you made it very lively. Your books have many different layers of stories woven throughout and, you added in Baltic history in easy reader spoonfuls! It’s a difficult challenge to make the past come alive, retelling who did what to whom while keeping a reader in eager anticipation of the outcome. It makes for a very rich and satisfying reading experience.’ – Diana Dunn

What a story Tyger is.
The best of the series by far, for this reader.
Thank you, Neil!
Ah…”Tyger” sighted, but not here (US) until November! Thank you for the description of the shipyard, but I’ll save most of the chapter until I have the book.
I was very lucky to obtain my Advance Reader copy of Tyger the only problem I have now is that it will be a longer wait for your next book. Tyger maintained your impeccable detail and continued the wonderful tales of Kydd.
