A world on the edge. VIP hostages. A diver's mission to avert global disaster.
Terrorists hold two of the most powerful people on Earth hostage. Their demands are impossible to meet. The consequences could lead to World War III.
For John McCready, what starts out as a rescue mission, turns into a race against time to a backdrop of global disaster.
As the clock ticks down, he's left to confront impossible odds and make the ultimate decision of life and death.
From a desperate fight for survival deep underwater in California, to the knife-edge tension of a confrontation high above the Pacific, Deep Hostage will take you over the edge, as one man is forced to the brink with the fate of the world in his hands.
An action-adventure thriller that will keep you riveted and leave you breathless until the very end.
Mike learned to dive when he was fifteen, and following a degree in marine biology and qualifying as a diving instructor, he has run a dive school in London, led trips around the world, and worked extensively in the film and TV industry.
The roles have ranged from safety and co-ordinating on feature films, commercials, pop-promos and TV productions, to camera work on documentaries, news reports and other video projects.
He has also written and directed a documentary on the development of rebreathers for the Discovery Channel, as well as numerous training and promotional videos.
Many of these adventures are documented in the book, Lights! Camera! Sub Action!
In parallel to the underwater work, he has always had a love of writing. This has led to a number of screenplays, interactive digital books and the John McCready series of novels.
