Reviews for The Tethered Goat
“The Tethered Goat is a high class thriller that can stand up along side others in the genre and beat some of the complacent masters of the craft who need nothing more than their name to have their books published. A novel like The Tethered Goat does not have that luxury and has to work to achieve its audience through word of mouth and a lot of luck. I would happily recommend the book for any lover of espionage thrillers, and encourage them to pass on the word to anyone else they believe would enjoy it.”
Highly recommended by Anthony Lund, Allbook Reviews
"The “Author’s love and knowledge of Africa are very much evident, and his descriptions are powerful and make a real impact…..There are plenty other villains in it, some more likeable than others, and some of them utterly intriguing….I would recommend this book to anybody interested in the politics of the 80s, the real Africa or anybody who enjoys a fast-moving, thrilling and hard-hitting story. I am looking forward for more illuminating reading from this talented author.”
Olivera Baumgartner-Jackson for Reader Views (2/09)
"In THE TETHERED GOAT, Nicholas Winer brings his vast experiences to bear, telling a tense, emotional and exciting story of people and the harsh realities they face in the world of war, espionage and famine relief in the Horn of Africa."
Dan Halsted. Producer of Beyond Borders.
"Winer skilfully captures with telling details the danger as well as the painful voice of this part of the world with its famine and war during the latter part of the 1980s. It is a world populated with a cast of some very devious characters that think very little about the lives of others."
