It all comes together when armed men warn him away from a dive site. Investigating, he witnesses a specially-equipped submarine destroying the reef. Before he is able to report the destruction to the authorities, he and his dive buddy, Kelly, are kidnapped-along with Kelly's girlfriend Tanya. Friends rescue Mike and Tanya, but the assassin gets away with Kelly, taking him to die. They must race against time to save Kelly and bring down the greedy developer putting his own wealth before the beauty of the island and the welfare of the people.Action, adventure, intrigue and the environment all come into play in this novel by author Eric Douglas. Set at Sunset House on Grand Cayman, a diving must-visit for many divers, this book highlights the beautiful locations and touches on the potential for abuse as the environment and development fall into conflict.This is the first book in the Mike Scott adventure series.
It's really refreshing to read a technically accurate book involving scuba. As a diving zealot, I really enjoyed the details. The story line was excellent and very easy to relate to. The characters are pretty cool and I'm looking forward to reading more from Eric Douglas.
Good adventure with fresh twists

Loved the diving perspective - refreshing to read someone's writing about their "day job" who isn't a lawyer. The technical information about the diving and coral reefs was sown so nicely into the story line that you could really understand why the characters were doing what they were doing or seeing what they were seeing. Likeable characters, nice setting - and no crappy language or smutty sex to fill in places where the author didn't know what else to write! I look forward to the next Mike Scott adventure.
