The Eye of the Tiger is a 1975 novel by Wilbur Smith set among the islands of the Indian Ocean.[1]

Film rights were bought by producer Michael Klinger who had made two films based on Smith novels. Although Smith did a screenplay, no movie has resulted as of 2016.[2] Klinger almost got the film financed in 1986 as part of an eight-picture deal but this film apart when the proposed star, Michael Caine, was unavailable.[3]
