Fans of this series should note that due to its length this story will be split into three novels. The determination of where to make that split was a joint decision between the author and the publisher.
See the title Tropical Convergence for further details on the first part and the title Stormy Waters for details on the second part.

Of all the Dar & Kerry books, this is the one that suffered the most when I read it for the second time. I still enjoyed the book and there were lots of individual incidents that were very good, but I found the overall story a bit annoying.
Dar finally tells Peter Quest to ‘get stuffed’ and realises the whole cruise ship deal is a setup. Unfortunately, she doesn’t just pack up her stuff and walk away. The rest of the story just turned into a bit of a farce with them running around ‘fire fighting’ getting nowhere. Also I could really have done without Shari, she was more annoying than the rest of the characters put together.
This series is just a hoot. Dar Roberts just doesn’t have any quit in her and when the chips are down she comes up swinging. Keri, equally competent and Dar’s partner gives a round house kick for good measure. This series based upon Xenaverse is just an enjoyable read all around. No matter how improbable the story line it all just makes me smile.
