Dated, but very interesting. This was written and published long before the BP oil disaster in the Gulf, but it could have been a blueprint warning!!! Poyer was obviously onto something when he wrote this!!! I have really enjoyed the Tiller Galloway series, as a diver, and a fan-reader... Tiller is a good action adventure hero, I like that this novel was more of a mystery. Poyer's marine and diving expertise shows in his writing!

I think this one might be my absolute favorite Tiller Galloway book. I remember it being the first one I ever read. It was in the Lincoln, Ne public library and I read it in one sitting on a slow day at the library.
In the aftermath of losing his boat, and surviving dealing with The Baptist, Tiller and Shad are looking for work in the Gulf of Mexico. Just enough to get a stake and repair their boat. But once again, things don't go quite according to plan...

#3 in the Tiller Galloway series. Unusual protagonist, an ex-con deep sea diver, in an unusual series by the author of several better known series, including Dan Lenson.
