**** PRESS RELEASE ***
The Road of a Thousand Tigers is Robert Craven’s sixth novel published independently on KOBO and Amazon platforms.
Inspired by the 007® franchise, The Road of a Thousand Tigers, ditches the gadgets, and big production endings of the Bond novels and introduces a romantic leading man; Sebastian Holt; a ‘combination of strength, culture and sensitivity’.
Two strong female characters; Marianne Aubuchon, a French journalist and Natalia Kvashnin, the lethal KGB agent, augment the plot – an initially simple trip to Paris to locate a missing CIA operative who may have gone rogue, evolves into a plot to destabilise the fragile French democratic government in 1958.
The Road of a Thousand Tigers in the Lee Child, Mark Dawson and James Patterson mould, doesn’t waste a single word in unnecessary ‘padding’ – the reader’s imagination is allowed free reign. Craven pares down the plot to the bare bones, allowing the story to propel the reader through the action; almost ‘dropping’ the reader into the centre of the action. The important element of The Road of a Thousand Tigers is that women will enjoy reading the novel – it’s not exclusively for ‘The boys’. From the secretaries who act as the front-line in Whitehall and Westminster to the trainee agents going out into the field, each female character resonates with strength, independence and humour.
The Road of a Thousand Tigers is designed to take the fans of the adventure – Hard-boiled thriller on a journey back in time as well as deliver a fresh spin on the genre and create a more thoughtful, intelligent kind of thriller and principal character: Sebastian Holt.
