A Stranger On Board

Brought to you by Penguin.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A luxury superyacht. And a killer picking you off, one by one...

A twist-filled summer thriller, perfect for fans of T.M. Logan's The Holiday and Lucy Clarke's The Castaways

When ex-marine Sarah French joins a luxury superyacht as on-board security, she's excited to get her life - and career - back on track.

Surrounded by crystal waters, it seems like the perfect place to start over.

As they head into open water, though, tensions between the crew quickly build. And when someone goes missing, Sarah has a terrifying realisation.

One of them is a killer. All of them are suspects.

To protect the other passengers, Sarah needs to uncover the killer's identity, and return the boat safely to shore.

But there's a storm on the horizon - and not all of them will make it out alive...

Reviews

Fast-paced, gripping and intense - A Stranger on Board is going to make some serious waves this summer

—— T.M. Logan

Agatha Christie meets Die Hard on water. A fantastic, full throttle thriller that never takes its foot off the accelerator

—— John Marrs

A fabulous, action-packed adventure. The superyacht is a genius premise and, mixed with Sarah's grit, it was an absolute joy to read

—— Jo Spain

A Stranger On Board is a taut and thrilling ride. Pure escapist pleasure!

—— Victoria Selman

A fast-paced thriller that reminds me of a Hollywood blockbuster transferred to the page, full of intrigue and depth of knowledge and vibrant characters who are realised to maximum effect with a plot that sizzles with numerous twists and turns and had me on the edge of my seat!

—— James Delargy

Praise for the author

—— :

Twisty, compelling and incredibly pacy...will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first page to the last

—— Phoebe Morgan

A hugely enjoyable and original thriller. Cameron's going to be one to watch

—— Simon Kernick

A fascinating and unputdownable thriller with a devious twist

—— John Marrs

I tore through this perfectly plotted tale of secrets and lies

—— Victoria Selman

An enjoyably compact thriller, with an absolutely killer last line.

—— Guardian

Forever and a Day is an explosive prequel to Casino Royale which promises to please Bond aficionados and a new legion of fans.

—— Northern Insight **Book of the Month**

This is another great new James Bond novel from Horowitz, who’s filling the shoes of Ian Fleming with apparent ease.

—— Trucking

Highly enjoyable.

—— Metro

Anthony is an enthusiastic writer who relishes the world of adventure he conveys.

—— Tina Jackson , Writing Magazine

A timeless Bond... has all the elements of a rollicking read.

—— Irish Examiner

Horowitz proves himself so adept at getting inside the iconic character, and Fleming’s writing style, that it’s difficult to see the join. Rip-roaringly recommended.

—— Pat Carty , Hot Press

Horowitz…captures the mood, pace and style of Fleming very well… the story thunders along with action galore in the Bond tradition. It whets the appetite for the 25th Bond film.

—— Alex Gordon , Peterborough Evening Telegraph

A rattling good thriller from an undoubted master of the genre.

—— Choice

Exciting, atmospheric and with non-stop action.

—— i

Anthony Horowitz writes Bond in the style of Fleming... Total brain candy in the best possible fashion.

—— Rick O'Shea , RTE Guide

Authentic, exciting and shot through with a very Flemingesque ennui.

—— Daily Express, *Books of the Year*

A clever and highly-satisfying espionage thriller... Horowitz nails precisely why Ian Fleming's novels were so popular in the first place. Put simply, he gets James Bond.

—— Entertainment Focus

Readers will love the way Horowitz stays loyal to the winning formula of Bond creator Ian Fleming, confronting an old enemy with new energy.

—— Eastern Daily Press

There seems an inexhaustible appetite for all things 007. One day, we might tire of him, but if his fictional incarnations remain as entertaining as With a Mind to Kill, we will be hoping that Bond doesn't hang up his Walther PPK for a while yet.

—— Observer

Masterly... There's an enjoyably mischievous tension between Bond, whose entire time in Russia is bleak...and Horowitz, who's plainly having a ball subjecting him to this ordeal.

—— Sunday Times, *Thriller of the Month*

A gloriously entertaining and surprisingly poignant novel that would make a better movie than many of the Bond stories that actually made it to the big screen.

—— RTÉ
