VENGEANCE ISLAND Kindle Edition

by Geoff Nelder (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 2 ratings
Vengeance Island follows the fate of a sixteenth century abducted family, and of two contemporary lovers thrown together by the ancients. Reece and Zita are unaware that one descends from the pirates, the other from the abducted family. While ancient Gozo spirits seek revenge, so do the Ottoman Corsairs, who intend to roll back history, and this time win the siege of Malta. The history is real. The places are authentic. The tension and excitement are palpable. "A gripping tale, full of energy and mystery, keeping you wanting for more with every line you read." John Bonello, First-Prize Winner of the Malta National Book Award “I liked it. There’s a foreground of interesting characters combined with a skilfully fed-in hint of weirdness.” Jaine Fenn – Hidden Empire series A previous version was released as Xaghra’s Revenge. Vengeance Island has been modified.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Feb 28 2025
From George Saunders, winner of the 2017 Booker Prize and World Fantasy Award
"I've carefully gone through Vengeance Island, and I have to say, it holds so much potential to connect with readers on a deep, meaningful level. Your voice, your story, it deserves to be read far and wide. I truly believe it could resonate with audiences around the world, finding its way into hearts and minds everywhere."

About the Author

Geoff Nelder is an environmentalist who became nuts after teaching in England for 40 years. He has a physicist wife and "normal" kids with kids of their own. He's had 12 novels published: mostly science fiction, some thrillers and historical fantasy. He gets his kicks from writing shorts of which over 100 have been published in such anthologies as Extreme Planets; ezines such as The Horrorzine and in Fiction4All.
Geoff was a co-editor of Escape Velocity SF magazine and for 11 years of an educational IT magazine. He's gets off on being a judge of fiction competitions including the Helen Whittaker Prize and a Chinese-organised novel competition, which returned him with more income than all his books combined.
His ARIA Trilogy - a scifi / thriller / post-apocalypse series is based on the original premise of infectious amnesia and won him first place in the Preditors & Editors Readers Poll for best science fiction of 2012. He is crazy enough to have been a vegan decades before it was fashionable yet waited until recently to pen a science fiction series of novellas set on a vegan planet in Flying Crooked series opening with SUPPOSE WE. 
Vengeance Island was written after extensive historical research on Malta, Gozo and Cyprus.

    An enjoyable read in an interesting setting. Ancient gods and human pawns with a mind of their own.

    Well worth reading.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Read From Geoff Nelder
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 23, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    As always, Geoff delivers with "Vengeance Island". It's a fast-paced story combining both the past and present in a truly unique way. The dialogue sings and there's no let up in the novel's pacing. A real page turner and I wouldn't expect anything less from the great man himself, Mr. Nelder.

    If you're a fan of Geoff's work, this won't disappoint. Get it TODAY!
