Book Overview
400 feet deep, in the treacherous waters of green turtle cay, lies the world's most dangerous cargo... waiting for the world's most daring diver.Salvage diver Tiller Galloway vowed he would never work for "The Baptist" again. Until the menacing kingpin makes him an offer he can't refuse, sending him deep into the beautiful blue Caribbean to raise fifty tons of cargo - a dive to the razor's edge of death. Caught in the cross fire of a crazed underboss and hostile islanders, Tiller takes on a nightmare of double crosses, as a scenario more sinister than he ever imagined begins to unfold.From the author of Down to a Sunless Sea comes this shattering sequel to Hatteras Blue , a tale as explosive as those of Clive Cussler and Peter Benchley, and packed with some of the most breathless undersea scenes ever written.

BAHAMAS BLUE
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I WAITED ABOUT 6 MONTHS TO GETTHIS BOOK AND I'M READING IT NOW. IWAS LOOKING FOR AN EARLY DAVID BOYER TITLE AND WANTED THIS ONE. THE WAIT WAS WELL WORTH IT. IN 2009 IREAD A NEWER TITLE OF HIS AND HAD SELECTED A COUPLE OF HIS WORKS THAT YEAR. HE HAS BECOME ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS. I JUST COMPLETED "THE CRISIS" AND IN NEED OF SOME LIGHTER READING NEEDED "BAHAMAS BLUE". IT IS FASINATING TO SEE AN AUTHOR WITH A HISTORY OF ALMOST 20 YEARS. I THOROUGHLY ENJOY BOTH BOOKS.

A Solid Maritime Thriller
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Salvage diver Lyle "Tiller" Galloway just wants to forget the days when he smuggled drugs for a ruthless criminal known as "The Baptist." His former boss wants him back, however, this time for a dangerous salvage operation that will make Galloway rich if he lives through it. It's a well-used plot, but Poyer makes it work by paying attention to the details. The underwater scenes are excellent (as always), the descriptions of the Bahamas are vivid, and the wealth of technical details about diving and salvage work never slow the plot down. Best of all, unlike _Hatteras Blue_, the big plot twist that Poyer springs near the end of the story makes sense and ties together a lot of seemingly loose ends. Galloway is still a likable character, still wishing he could shake off the past and still unable to do it.As maritime thrillers go, _Bahamas Blue_ isn't quite up to the standards set by Sam Llewellyn, Hammond Innes, and Brian Callison, but its a solid piece of work and an excellent choice for fans of the genre.
Excellent Reading

Just got finished with this book(5/99). It's was great. It's was spell binding until the last page! Descriptions of the islands, under water, boats, people, and the action made you feel you were right there. Excellent book! Personally, I'm going to buy his other "Blue" books...
Like the Sea and boats? You'll like this book!

Don't let the fact that this book is not brand new or not expensive put you off! The characters are great and the price is a bargain! This is a book for techno-types who like the sea and boats. The main character is NOT a superhero and not a real loser either. Gee.. a real person. Good techno fiction.. action, diving, technology.. good stuff. -- Frank Derfle
