"Matt Drabble is a name that will one day be as widely recognized as Stephen King & Dean Koontz" - READERS FAVORITE
There is a spot in paradise where the fortunate few get to work while the lucky play. For Ray Blake his small time dreams about opening a bar with his best friend KC are closer that ever to fruition, if he can make it through the next few days without throwing it all away that is.
Standing in his way is the demanding and imposing figure of Sir Rufus Samuels and his plans for a luxury vacation yacht designed to service only the very elite. Ray, KC and the rest of the small crew are tasked with the first trial runout for the Neptune, but nothing is going to go to plan.
Between a mixture of human nature and something far more sinister the crew of the Neptune are going to find themselves in the fight of their lives just to make it back to shore again. After picking up a stranded survivor with a bloody tale so bizarre it can't possibly be true Ray and his friends are faced with something ancient, evil and eternally cunning. How do you stop a killer who can look like anyone, a killer with an insatiable appetite, a killer determined to leave no one alive to expose their very existence.
Out on the open seas, stranded and cut off from all communication, there's nowhere to run and nowhere to hide as this particular evil can take all forms and faces. What happens at sea is buried there.
