Deep Time by Rob Sangster
Rob Sangster has done it again. Great read with fly by the seat of your pants action and adventure. This book has everything it takes to make a great read.
Jack is back and it’s very personal. Jack’s goddaughter, Katie, a radar operator on the Greenpeace ship Aleutian is missing, the Aleutian attached by the Japan Whaling Ship Nikita Maru has disappeared. Jack calls in Steve Drake and who discovers the Aleutian on the ocean floor, all aboard are lost. The action begins on the first page and continues as you read about the Aleutian sinking, what’s Steve Drake’s agenda for agreeing to hunt for the Aleutian. What happened to Aleutian to make it sink, what is the mystery of giant platform the billionaire Barbas built-in the Pacific ocean and what’s really behind his almost frantic need to hire Jack’s law firm? There is something very big going on in the Pacific Ocean! There is mining on the ocean floor, methane gases, vents, and so much more. So many questions that Mr. Sangster will tie into a nice package by the end of the story. This is a full on, nonstop action story with elements of murder, tsunamis, greed, tension, love, hidden agendas, disasters in the making, world-changing disasters, and truly evil villains that Jack must stop at all costs.
The plots, twists, and turns, just kept coming one after the other. The character development was spot on, evil villains, the good guys and girls, and politics, of course. The theory of the vents and gases really made me think and the theories fit so well with what can really be going on in the Bermuda Triangle. Mr. Sangster obviously had done his research in the area of methane hydrate and vent tubes. This was very interesting. Great story that will hold your interest from the beginning to the end, the story never lagged, and as with all good adventure stories, Mr. Sangster created truly evil villains. I wanted to finish the book in one sitting; I didn’t want to put it down.
I recommend this book to anyone that likes a good solid story full of action and adventure.
I received this book from the publisher and Netgalley in return for an honest opinion.

Attorney Jack Strider returns in another thriller, and author Rob Sangster puts him through his heroic and angst-filled paces. A villain worthy of James Bond has created an offshore threat to the world. Armed with his wits, his fists and very little else, the thoroughly modern (read conflicted) hero Strider opposes the villain.
It’s all here: a unique but not-too-far-fetched plot idea related to (very) deep-water drilling, a power-crazed business baron, a mad scientist looking for the cure, a smart and tough woman, a hard-drinking sidekick, barroom brawls, explosions, father issues and a pitched battle on a giant drilling platform 200 miles out at sea.
A terrific yarn, from start to finish. Glad you’re back, Jack.

If the threat of a giant tsunami won’t deter a greedy tycoon from mining a deep-sea vent in international waters off the Oregon Coast, what will? Dashing lawyer and do-gooder, Jack Strider, backed by his beautiful and brilliant law partner, Debra Vanderberg, and colorful pilot and daredevil, Gano LeMoyne, of course. Throw this team in with mad scientists, methane burps, helicopters, a miniature sub, a gigantic sea platform, and cutting-edge science and you have Deep Time, an eco thriller that will make you question the wisdom of living on the West Coast.

Sangster hit it out of the park with this one. I literally couldn't put it down. A thriller that had me literally holding my breath in fear, then laughing out loud a few pages later, then hoping this ethical lawyer-hero hadn't screwed up his love life while he was saving the world from an oceanic disaster. And you never know where it's going next. I see a movie in this book and I'll be first in line.

I am new to the Jack Strider books. I bought this due to the setting being in the Pacific Northwest. It seems like a cross between a John Grisham and Clive Cussler novel. Enjoyable book dealing with a billionaire, good guys, bad guys, underwater earthquakes, exploration and methane.

Clive Cussler take off
Okay if you like Clive Cussler type stories. Hero gets in more scrapes then Dirk Pitt and comes through being only a lawyer.

I didn't like this book as much as the first one. I liked seeing the characters from the first book and the addition of Molly was good. I thought the story was too long. I did not like the end at all.

Good story
Interesting, but not out together extremely well. It seems stories come out of nowhere at of times. Regardless, it is a good book and worth reading.
